Manten is Japanese in Origin.

Manten is a rare Dutch-Frisian masculine name derived from the medieval Frisian personal name Mante, itself linked to the Germanic root man- "man, person" and sometimes to magan- "strength, might." In medieval records from Friesland and the Low Saxon coastal regions, forms like Mante and Manten appear; the -en ending can be a regional formation or an old patronymic. As a given name it lingered locally into the early modern period and is now very uncommon, though it survives more visibly as a surname in the Netherlands and abroad.

Variants and related forms include Mante (Frisian), Manten (Dutch/Low Saxon), Mantje (Frisian diminutive), Manno and Manne (Germanic cognates). English Manton is a place-derived surname, sometimes confused but etymologically separate. In Japanese, Manten can also be used as a modern boy’s name written 満天, meaning "full sky" or "perfect score," giving an appealing celestial sense. Overall meaning: "man; strong one; strength."
