MEANING & HISTORY

What does Emanuel mean?

Emanuel is a form of Emmanuel used in several languages. Emmanuel comes from Hebrew Immanuel, a sentence meaning God is with us.

The single m in Emanuel is an established spelling within that transmitted name family rather than a different root. The name has biblical messianic associations and a long later Christian history. Its literal phrase explains the formation without establishing the religious identity or personal beliefs of any modern bearer.
