Emanuel Forename Meaning
From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history
A male name. Hebrew ‘God with us’, the name given to the Messiah in Isa. vii. 14, viii. 8. First used as a christian name by the Greeks (e g. Manuel Comnenus), it spread westward and became particularly common in Spain and Portugal as Manuel or Manoel, with f. forms Manuela, Manuelita. Manuel and Emanuel are found as christian names in Cornwall in the 15th and 16th C, and Immanuel occurs sometimes in the 17th C, but in general the name has not been much used in England except by Jews.
— The Oxford Dictionary of Christian Names (1947) by E. G. Withycombe
EMMANUEL. (In Italy, frequently preceded by Victor.) Originally Immanuel, it derives from Hebrew, where it means, literally, with (imm) us (an) God, i. e. ‘God with us’. First used, as a Christian name, by the Greeks; then by the Italians, from whom it spread rapidly. It is rarely used nowadays: people feel that it is a little too God-like for common clay.
— Name This Child (1959) by Eric Partridge
A name derived through the Gr.’Εμανουήλ from the Scripture name עמנואל Immanuel, from im-anu-El, God with us; that is, God is with us, or on our side.
