ArchivesRe: origin of the surname- Manou
in reply to a message by Lepic
I agree, Greek. It looks like it means (son) of Manos, a male forename whose meaning I don't know. The -ou ending is one favoured by Greek Cypriots, so the name may be from the Island of Cyprus.

Manos is derived from Emmanuel according to the information at http://www.ancestry.com/name-origin?surname=manos.
