Nemanja (Serbian Cyrillic: Немања) is a masculine Serbian given name. It is derived from the by-name borne by the founder of the Nemanjić dynasty, Stefan Nemanja (1114–1199), a Serbian grand prince who was venerated as a saint after his death.

Etymologically, many think the name most likely derives from a meaning "without possessions", from Serbian nemati "to have not", but that is not true. The name origins from ne manuti "not to let go" in terms of being persistent.


Modern given name

In Serbia, the name rose to popularity in the 1980s. Between 2003 and 2005, the name was 9th most popular name given to newly-born boys.

Another theory is that it originates from the words Neman (beast in Serbian language) + Ja (I as a person in Serbian language) which would be given to a child to identify him as strong and resilient and protect him from evil spirits.
