Manuella

US Popularity Rank: 12204

Origin: Brazilian

Meaning: God is with us

Manuella is a magnificent girl’s name of Brazilian origin, meaning “God is with us,” and a lovely elaboration of the Portuguese and Spanish moniker Manuel. Derived from the Hebrew name Immanuel, whose elements im and el merge to make a definition truly divine, Manuella might mean destiny for those deeply devoted to their faith. If you happen to keep up with the Eurovision Song Contest, you’ll also remember the name Manuella from Slovenian singer Manuella “ManuElla” Brečko, who made it to the 2016 semi-final with her song “Blue and Red.”
