Ἐμμανουήλ G1694
Immanuel; Hebrew name meaning 'God with us,' a messianic title applied to Jesus
This is the Greek transliteration of the Hebrew name Immanuel, meaning "God with us." In Matthew 1:23, the angel interprets the virgin birth by quoting Isaiah 7:14: the child will be called Immanuel. The name encapsulates the mystery of the incarnation—God dwelling among His people in human flesh. Though Jesus was not literally named Immanuel, the title expresses His identity and mission: in Him, God is truly present with us, fulfilling Isaiah's prophecy in a way far exceeding its original context.
