What is the meaning of the name Manos ?

The baby name Manos is a Male name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced /ˈmanos/ (MAH-nos) — stress on first syllable; 'a' as in 'father', 'o' as in 'go'.

Manos is Greek in Origin.

Manos is a Greek masculine name, predominantly a clipped form of Emmanouíl (Emmanuel), and of its vernacular Cretan/Cypriot variants Manólis and Manousos. Via the Greek Bible, it ultimately derives from Hebrew ‘Immanu’el, “God is with us,” and the short form retains that devotional meaning. While long used as an affectionate diminutive in families and village communities, Manos has been borne independently as a given name in modern Greece.

Usage is strong in Crete and the Aegean, helped by cultural figures such as composer Manos Hadjidakis and songwriter Manos Loïzos. Related forms across languages include Emmanuel/Immanuel; Manuel (Spanish/Portuguese); Emanuel (Central/Eastern Europe) and Emanuele (Italian); Manolo and Mano (nicknames); and Greek Manólis, Manousos, and Emmanouil. Though identical to the Spanish plural “hands,” it is unrelated to Spanish naming. Common diminutives: Mano; feminine counterparts: Emmanouéla/Emmanuela.
