Manco is Quechua in Origin.
Manco is the hispanicized rendering of Quechua Manqo (also written Manqu/Manku), a personal name element associated with the Inca royal lineage. Its precise lexical meaning is debated; in imperial compounds it functioned as a proper name rather than a transparent word. In the famed pairing Manqo Qhapaq (Spanish: Manco Cápac), qhapaq means “mighty, noble, rich,” so the whole is often understood as “Manco the great.” The name is unrelated to the Spanish adjective manco “one-armed.”
The best-known bearers are Manco Cápac, the legendary founder of Cusco and first Sapa Inca, and Manco Inca Yupanqui (c.1515–1544), leader of the Neo‑Inca resistance at Vilcabamba during the Spanish conquest. Spanish chroniclers standardized the spelling Manco, which remains most familiar internationally. Modern given-name use is rare but sees periodic revival in Andean cultural circles. Variants and spellings include Manqo, Manku, Manqu, Manko, and Mancco; the compound forms Manco Cápac and Manco Inca are historical.
