The surname Manojlovic originates from Serbia, with records dating back to the early 14th century. It is derived from the Serbian given name Manojlo, which itself comes from the Greek name Emmanouil, meaning "God is with us." The earliest known bearer of the name was a Serbian nobleman named Manojlovic who lived in the region of Rascia during the reign of King Stefan Milutin in the early 1300s.

In the 15th century, the Manojlovic family played a prominent role in the resistance against the Ottoman Empire. A notable figure from this time was Vuk Manojlovic, a military commander who fought alongside Serbian leader Jovan Hunyadi in the Battle of Belgrade in 1456. Vuk's bravery and leadership during this pivotal conflict earned him recognition and brought further renown to the Manojlovic name.

As the centuries passed, the Manojlovic surname spread across various regions of Serbia and the Balkans. In the 18th century, a branch of the family settled in the town of Sombor, where they became influential landowners and merchants. One of the most famous individuals from this lineage was Jovan Manojlovic (1765-1842), a wealthy trader and philanthropist who funded the construction of several churches and schools in the region.

Another notable bearer of the Manojlovic name was Mihailo Manojlovic (1819-1898), a Serbian writer and scholar who contributed significantly to the preservation of Serbian folklore and literature. His works, such as "Narodne Poslovice" (Folk Proverbs) and "Narodne Pripovetke" (Folk Tales), played a vital role in documenting and celebrating the rich cultural heritage of Serbia.

In the 20th century, the Manojlovic surname continued to be associated with distinguished individuals.
