The name Lin Manuel is a boy's name of Hebrew, Spanish origin meaning "flax; forest; spirit, soul + God is with us".

Notably borne by singer, writer, film-maker, and actor Lin-Manuel Miranda, this distinctive double-barrelled name is a poetic choice. It comes from the poem  <em>Nana roja para mi hijo Lin Manuel</em> ("Red Lullaby for My Son Lin Manuel") by the Puerto Rican writer José Manuel Torres Santiago, about the Vietnam War, making it a literary option.

Manuel comes from Hebrew Emmanuel, meaning "God is with us", however, Lin may have its roots in a variety of languages. It could come from the Vietnamese Linh, meaning "spirit, soul", from the Chinese Lin, meaning "forest" or "jade", or, it may be a variation of Linus, used in Russian, Bulgarian, French, and occasionally Spanish too. In the latter case, it would mean "flax".
