Manchi Surname Meaning & Coat of Arms

If your family name is Manchi, its origin lies with Manca, an Italian surname. The name is usually explained as “Left-handed”.

Manchi and Manca

Before spelling was fixed, Manca was also written Manchi. Spellings drifted because names were written down by ear in parish books, tax rolls and passenger lists. Related forms: Manco and Mancini.

Family crest and blazon

A coat of arms belongs to a particular family line rather than to everyone named Manchi, so the heraldry linked to Manca is a starting point, not an automatic right.
