About Emmanuel
Emmanuel--spelled with one or two 'm's'-- was popular with early Jewish immigrants, until overused nickname Manny caused it to fade. Now, this important biblical name is being revived in its full glory.
In the Bible, this is the name given to the promised Messiah, in the prophecy of Isaiah.
The name is popular in Spain as Manuel; the name of the German philosopher is spelled Immanuel Kant.
Emmanuel is also given to girls.
Pronounced ih-MAN-yoo-ul.
As of October 2026, Emmanuel ranked #16024 in US births in 2022 SSA, peaked at #4592 in 1986.
