Manolis, of Greek origin, is derived from the given name Manuel. It means 'God is with us,' reflecting its religious roots. In Greece, it's often used as a familiar form of the full name, adding a touch of warmth and informality to the classical Manuel.
"The name Manolis saw peaks in popularity with 7 babies named in 1984 and a slight decline to 6 in 1987. However, there's a notable gap of five years between the first recorded birth in 1979 (5 babies) and the subsequent increase."
