Immanuel Name Meaning and Origin

Immanuel is a masculine name of Hebrew origin, meaning “God is with us“. It derives from the Hebrew name עִמָּנוּאֵל (Immanu’el), a combination of the words “immanu” (with us) and “El” (God). The name has deep biblical roots and is most famously mentioned in the Book of Isaiah in the Old Testament, where it is used as a prophecy symbolizing divine presence and protection. Immanuel is associated with comfort, faith, and assurance in religious contexts and is widely used across various cultures and languages, sometimes as Emmanuel, particularly in Christian traditions.
