MEANING & HISTORY
What does Eraño mean?
An edited Nameberry account identifies Eraño as an invented Filipino name formed from English new era for Eraño Manalo. This is a reported naming history attached to a particular bearer, rather than a dictionary translation of a traditional Tagalog word.
The ñ belongs to the attested spelling; replacing it with n would obscure the exact form under discussion.
