What Emanuela means

Where Emanuela comes from and what it has meant to the people who carry it.

Emanuela begins in the Hebrew Immanuel, built from immanu, 'with us,' and El, 'God.' The phrase belongs to the Book of Isaiah, where a promised child stands as a sign, and it returns in the Gospel of Matthew. The name states a full sentence. God is with us.

Emanuela is the feminine form. Beside it stand the variants Emanuel and the Italian Emanuele, which a boy carries instead. On a Polish class register the name reads as a Hebrew declaration in Polish spelling, seated among saints from Rome and Greece.

Its short meaning has stayed close to that first grammar, since the word was a statement of presence before it named anyone. Polish calendars mark her imieniny on the twenty-sixth of March. A girl called Emanuela wears that old assurance as bóg z nami.
