Manu

Manu is a gender-neutral name found and used throughout Europe and India that holds a wealth of character and meaning for you and your child to explore. In Sanskrit, Manu means "thinking" and "wise," and the name has great significance in Hinduism. In the Purana, the figure Swayambhuva Manu has a pivotal role in divine governance and the cycle of creation. Adding to its worldly and spiritual appeal, Manu is used in many European languages as a diminutive of the Hebrew names Emmanuel and Immanuel. With a faithful meaning like "God is with us," your little Manu can find comfort in their beliefs. Manu can also derive from the Latin Magnus, lending the simple yet empowering endearment "great" to your kiddo. A famous bearer for baby to tap their toes to is the French-Spanish reggae artist Manu Chao.
