Nemanja (Serbian Cyrillic: Немања) is a masculine Serbian given name. It is derived from the by-name borne by the founder of the Nemanjić dynasty, Stefan Nemanja (1114–1199), a Serbian grand prince who was venerated as a saint after his death.

Etymologically, many think the name most likely derives from a meaning "No Flaw", from Serbian Ne manjka - Nemanja " (basically means that he has no flaw)"

Modern given name[edit]

In Serbia, the name rose to popularity in the 1980s. Between 2003 and 2005, the name was 9th most popular name given to newly-born boys.[citation needed]
