What is the meaning of the name Manno ?

The baby name Manno is a Male name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced MAN-oh (English: /ˈmæn.oʊ/); MAHN-no (Italian: /ˈmanno/).

Manno is Germanic, Italian, Portuguese, Spanish in Origin.

Manno is a compact masculine name from the Germanic element mann, “man, person.” In medieval German and Low Countries usage it served as a short form for compounds such as Manfred or Mannhard, and by extension for names containing the element -mann. It later appears independently, particularly in Dutch and Frisian records.

In Italy, Manno functions as a colloquial diminutive of Ermanno (Italian for Hermann) and at times of Germano; along this line the meaning shifts to “army-man,” from Germanic heri/harja “army” + man “man.” The name is uncommon today but persists as a heritage choice in the Netherlands and as a traditional nickname in parts of Italy. Related forms and variants include Mano, Mannus (historical), Ermanno/Hermann, and Manfred. Pet forms: Mano or Nanno.
