Manousos

Manousos (Greek: Μανούσος) is both a Greek masculine given name and a surname. It is a direct loanword from the Venetian Manuzio (Latin Manutius).[1] Common in Venetian Crete, it was eventually associated with Manos and Manolis.[1]

Notable people with the name include:

  • Manoússos Theotokópoulos (1531–1604), a wealthy merchant and brother of El Greco[2]
  • Savvas Manousos (born 1985), Greek basketball player
  • Yiorghos Manousos (born 1987), Greek footballer
  • Manousos Manousakis (1950–2024), Greek film director, producer, screenwriter and actor
  • Manousos Oviedo, a main character in the 2025 American television series Pluribus
