I chose Emmanuel because it’s biblical meaning- “God with us”

I love that Emmanuel has 2 M’s – both my husband and my mom have names that start with M so we always say one for his and one for mines.

I also like the nick name “Manny”

I don’t like that it’s a little long

Emmanuel is a Jr, named after his father (my bf). Emmanuel Jr’s full name is Emmanuel Simon Palmer Jr. His middle name is Simon after my late paternal grandfather, Simon Jno-Lewis. He was a very humble kind and nice man and filled with compassion and grace. Emmanuel Jr’s full name has a very spiritual and strong meaning – Emmanuel means God is with us, Simon means He has heard.
“God is with us – He has heard” <3
I decided to name our son after his father because my bf is the most loving and compassionate man you will ever meet. He lives up to his name and has been very active in our sons life and even before we knew we were pregnant with him.
My son couldn't have had a more perfect name.
"God is with us - He has heard" <3

Myself and my husband both Christians, we have God as the centre in our marriage. We have been through a lot challenges, through Gods grace we managed to work things out for the better. When I found out that I am pregnant it was a very special moment for me, I couldn’t waite to see him I had to tell him over the phone. My husband cannot show emotions his that type of a person, but he asked if I am happy I said yes then he said thank you.

With name Emmanuel it means God is with us always, in out struggle moments through it all he is there to carry us out. His been great to us and our little family, we thankful to have Emmanuel joining the family.

Emmanuel means God with us. I always loved the name. All my boys have biblical names. I have 3 and one girl. Emmanuel is a reminder that I’m never alone because I have God on my side with me through the struggles of life.

We chose the name Emmanuel for two reasons, in June of 2018 we lost a pregnancy, and then became pregnant again in August. The name Emmanuel means God with us, and I know he was sent to us by God. Another reason we chose Emmanuel is because all of our children’s first name had a double letter somewhere in it… Achilles Garrett and Emmanuel.

  If Emmanuel means God is with us, and we are told that it is a Hebrew word, that cannot be possible because God in Hebrew is Elohim.

    “El” in “Emmanuel” refers to God Himself. Here are the names of God in the Old Testament:
    
    El Shaddai (Lord God Almighty)
    El Elyon (The Most High God)
    Adonai (Lord, Master)
    Yahweh (Lord, Jehovah)
    Jehovah Nissi (The Lord My Banner)
    Jehovah-Raah (The Lord My Shepherd)
    Jehovah Rapha (The Lord That Heals)
    Jehovah Shammah (The Lord Is There)
    Jehovah Tsidkenu (The Lord Our Righteousness)
    Jehovah Mekoddishkem (The Lord Who Sanctifies You)
    El Olam (The Everlasting God)
    Elohim (God)
    Qanna (Jealous)
    Jehovah Jireh (The Lord Will Provide)
    Jehovah Shalom (The Lord Is Peace)
    Jehovah Sabaoth (The Lord of Hosts)
    
    The Lord is rich to those who called upon his name, His names describes what He is to us in His multifarious aspects.
