What is the meaning of the name Manto ?

The baby name Manto is a Female name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced English: /ˈmæntoʊ/ (MAN-toh); Greek: /manˈdo/ (man-DOH).

Manto is Greek in Origin.

Manto is a predominantly feminine name of Greek origin, from Ancient Greek Mantó (Μαντώ), related to mantis “seer, diviner,” giving the meaning “prophetess.” In myth, Manto is the clairvoyant daughter of Tiresias; after Thebes fell, she was dedicated to Apollo at Delphi and sent to Klaros in Ionia, where she bore the famed seer Mopsus. Another classical strand, echoed by Virgil, carries her to Italy and links her name to the founding of Mantua.

The name has remained in Greek use, notably borne by the revolutionary heroine Manto Mavrogenous (1796–1848). Variants and transliterations include Mantó (accented Greek), Manto, and Mando. In Italian and Spanish, manto means “mantle, cloak” from Latin mantum, a semantic cousin but not the source; this has encouraged occasional Italian use. Manto offers a lyrical, learned profile with strong literary and oracular associations.
