Help[Facts] Manolin
Either Spanish or Italian, I've heard both. What does it mean?

Manolín
Manolín (with accent over the I) is a diminutive of Manolo, nickname of Manuel, Spanish form of Emmanuel.
It is not Italian (in this language, the form would finish in -ino) but Spanish.

According to one site I found, it's a combination of mano "shark" and lin "bright," which from what I can tell is Hawaiian. My first thought though was that it was just a variant of Mandolin, although I don't know if that's used as a name.
