Manuella

Meaning of Manuella

Manuella originates from the Hebrew name Immanuʾel, meaning “God is with us,” and entered European usage via Greek Emanouēl and Latin Emmanuel. As a feminine variant of Manuel, the double-l form in Manuella aligns with phonotactic preferences in Italian (mah-nweh-ˈɛ-la) and Spanish (mah-nweh-ˈe.ʝa). In the United States, annual registrations have held steady over the past decade—typically 10 to 25 newborns per year—positioning the name around the 900th rank and indicating a stable, low-frequency adoption. Its transparent etymology, cross-linguistic versatility and consistent usage make it a technically sound choice for parents who value both historical depth and understated distinctiveness.
