Origin
Meaning and origin of Manevich
The surname MANEVICH is of Eastern European origin, specifically from the regions of modern-day Ukraine and Belarus. It likely emerged during the late medieval period, around the 15th or 16th century. The name is believed to be derived from the Slavic root "manev," which means "to move" or "to manipulate." This suggests that the name may have initially referred to a person's occupation, perhaps a merchant or trader.
One of the earliest recorded instances of the name MANEVICH can be found in a land registry from the town of Zhytomyr, located in present-day northern Ukraine. The document, dated 1572, mentions a landowner named Fyodor MANEVICH. This provides evidence that the name was already in use by the late 16th century in the region.
In the 17th century, a notable figure bearing the MANEVICH surname was Ivan MANEVICH, a Cossack military leader who fought against Polish rule in the Khmelnytsky Uprising (1648-1657). Ivan MANEVICH was born around 1620 and played a crucial role in several battles, including the defense of the city of Poltava.
During the 18th century, the MANEVICH name appeared in various records across modern-day Belarus and Ukraine. For instance, a merchant named Grigory MANEVICH (1735-1802) was a prominent figure in the city of Minsk, where he owned several properties and trading establishments.
In the 19th century, a famous writer and philosopher named Nikolai MANEVICH (1819-1889) gained recognition for his works exploring the intersection of literature and philosophy. Born in the city of Chernihiv, he published numerous essays and novels that influenced intellectual discourse in the Russian Empire.
Another notable figure was Maria MANEVICH (1865-1932), a pioneering feminist and activist who advocated for women's rights and educational opportunities in the Russian Empire. She founded several schools and organizations aimed at empowering women and promoting gender equality.
As the MANEVICH surname spread across Eastern Europe, it also underwent various spelling variations, including MANEVYCH, MANEWICH, and MANEVITZ, reflecting regional linguistic differences and the influence of other languages.

The Census Bureau groups responses into six broad categories: White, Black or African American, Hispanic or Latino, Asian and Pacific Islander, American Indian and Alaska Native, and Two or More Races. When a category has too few respondents for a given surname, the Bureau suppresses the figure to protect individual privacy, which is why some names show fewer than six slices.
Percentages are shown for every Census year so the breakdown stays comparable over time. When the source file also includes raw headcounts, Name Census shows those alongside the percentages in the legend.
Keep in mind that these are self-reported numbers. A person's surname does not determine their race or ethnicity, and the distribution you see here reflects the specific population who happened to carry the Manevich surname at the time of the 2020 Census, not any inherent property of the name itself.
