Nemanja Vučurević
Nemanja ( sr-Cyrl, 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.

The name origins from '' ne manuti'' "not to let go" in terms of being persistent. Derksen, Rick. Etymological Dictionary of the Slavic Inherited Lexicon. Brill, 2008, page 301.
