Curiosities about the name Manuel
Manuel or Emmanuel is also the other name that Jesus had. The weight of its meaning makes the boy named Manuel have a lot of self-confidence, something very important to achieve success in life. Manuel is sensitive and sociable and lavishes optimism which makes him the soul of his group of friends. His curiosity is insatiable, but tends to scatter, so sometimes he needs help to focus.
Manuel is the form that adopts this name in Spanish, because in most languages the Emmanuel variant and the like are used. It is very common the affectionate name of Manolo and the diminutive Manu, although we especially like the Asturian variant Nel. Imanol is the form that Manuel adopts in Euskera, although we have it perfectly assimilated as Castilian.
Precisely Imanol is the name of some well-known and loved characters like the film director Imanol Uribe and the actor Imanol Arias. Nor can we forget the importance of the philosopher Immanuel Kant. Singers like Manu Carrasco and Manu Chao carry the name of your son in every corner, although Manuel is not a name that needs promotion.
That Manuel is such a frequent name goes back to the time of the reconquest, when Jews and Moors had to convert to Christianity in order not to be expelled from the peninsula. Then, most of the converts chose the name Manuel, because of its meaning, to baptize their children and guarantee them a better life.
