What is the meaning of the name Mano ?

The baby name Mano is a Unisex name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced Spanish/Italian/Portuguese: /ˈmano/ (MAH-no); English: /ˈmɑːnoʊ/ (MAH-noh); Japanese: /ma.no/ (MAH-no).

Mano is Hindi, Italian, Japanese, Portuguese, Sanskrit, Spanish in Origin.

Mano is a multicultural given name and nickname. In Iberian languages it abbreviates Manuel/Emmanuel, from Hebrew Immanuel, “God is with us.” In South Asia it shortens Sanskrit-based Manoj and Manohar/Manoharan (from manas “mind/heart” + ja “born” or hara “captivating”), yielding senses like “born of the mind” or “captivating to the mind.” In Hawaiian, mano means “shark” and is occasionally used as a name. Japanese Mano (various kanji, e.g., 真野 “true field,” 愛乃 “beloved child”) overlaps as a given name or surname. Hungarian Manó, though accented, is related.

As a standalone, Mano appears in 19th–20th‑century records across Iberia, Italy, and Latin America and is now internationally used. Variants and related forms include Manuel/Manoel, Manolo, Manu, Emmanuel/Immanuel, Emanuele, Manó (Hu.), Manoj, Manohar/Manoharan, Manoah/Manoach, and Manoa. Diminutives most often: Manu; Spanish adds Lolo via Manolo.
