Immanuel or Emmanuel (Hebrew עמנו אל), meaning "God is with us" in Hebrew, is a title used in the Book of Isaiah in the Old Testament. In the King James Bible, the relevant verse runs like this:
- 7:14 Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.
It is used as first name among Christians. Examples are Immanuel Kant, Vittorio Emmanuele I of Italy, the bullfighter Manolete and the Emmanuelle erotic films.
