Emanuele is a masculine given name, the Italian form of the English name Emmanuel, which in turn derives from the Hebrew name Immanuel. Emmanuele is the primary form of the name in Italian but fell out of use due to the strong presence of the form Emanuele among Italian aristocratic elites. Emanuele is likely a calque of the German Emanuel, often associated with aristocracy in Europe. [1]
The name Emanuele gained significant popularity in Italy through figures such as Carlo Emanuele the Great and the great king Vittorio Emanuele I. The name is also recurrent in religious contexts through figures like Carlo Emanuele Pio of Savoy.
