The short form of this name in Russian is "Monya", feel free to use it.
Immanuel and Jesus are the names of the Son of God and as a Christian they should be reserved solely for that purpose. No man, particularly Christians, should be named Immanuel or any of its derivatives because doing so is a lack of respect towards God and Jesus and considered blasphemy. No man is worthy of His name.
In Byzantine tradition and in modern Greek the given name Εμμανουηλ (EMMANOUIL or EMMANUIL or EMMANOUEL or EMMANUEL) corresponds to the Byzantine Μανουηλ (MANOUIL or MANUIL) and the modern Greek nicknames Μανος (MANOS), Μανωλης (MANOLIS), Μανολης (MANOLIS)and Μανουσος (MANOUSOS).
Therefore all those names should be under the same article in "Behind the Name"
This name is ranked number 1 in the island of Creta (where for many centuries it was given to all first born masculines of any family), and because of that probably ranked in the top 5 masculine names in Greece.Manolis (Emmanouil) Markakis.
Immanuel has also been used quite a lot in Greenland, as have too other Old Testament names like Abraham, Isak, Sara, Magdalena, Abel, Jokum, Efraim and Moses.
