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)"
