Anuel

Anuel Origin and Meaning

The name Anuel is a boy's name.

Anuel is a masculine name that gained recognition largely through Puerto Rican trap and reggaeton artist Anuel AA (born Emmanuel Gazmey Santiago). The name appears to be a shortened form of Emmanuel, which has Hebrew origins meaning "God is with us." While relatively uncommon as a given name before the artist's rise to fame in the 2010s, Anuel has since gained some popularity, particularly in Spanish-speaking communities and among fans of Latin urban music. The name has a modern, distinctive sound with its two-syllable structure and melodic quality. Its connection to contemporary Latin music culture gives it a trendy, current appeal for parents seeking a name with cultural relevance and a strong presence while maintaining relative uniqueness.
