Pronunciation: [ɪmˈanjuːə͡l] (IPA) 
The spelling of the name "Imanuel" can be confusing due to variations in the way it is pronounced. However, the correct IPA transcription for this name is /ɪˈmanjuəl/. The "I" is pronounced as in the word "sit", followed by a short "a" sound. The "e" is pronounced as in the word "bet", while the second syllable starts with a "m" sound, followed by a short "a" and a "y" sound. The final syllable ends with a schwa sound.
The name "Imanuel" is derived from the Hebrew name "Immanuel" (עִמָּנוּאֵל). In Hebrew, "Immanuel" is composed of two elements: "immanu" meaning "with us", and "el" meaning "God". Therefore, the name "Imanuel" carries the meaning "God is with us". It is also worth noting that "Immanuel" holds a significant religious connotation as it appears in the Hebrew Bible in the Book of Isaiah, referring to a prophecy about the birth of a child to a young woman. The name "Imanuel" is mainly used as a given name, particularly in Christian contexts.
