Where did the French Manea family come from? What is the French Manea family crest and coat of arms? When did the Manea family first arrive in the United States? Where did the various branches of the family go? What is the Manea family history?

From the historical and enchanting region of France emerged a multitude of noble families, including the distinguished Manea family. Originally, the French people were known only by a single name. The process by which hereditary surnames were adopted in France is extremely interesting. Surnames evolved during the Middle Ages when people began to assume an extra name to avoid confusion and to further identify themselves. Often they adopted names that were derived from nicknames. Nickname surnames were derived from an eke-name, or added name. They usually reflected the physical characteristics or attributes of the first person that used the name. The name Manea is a nickname type of surname for a fierce or strong man which was in turn derived from the Middle-High-German word man, from which the English word man is derived.
