Lin-Manuel

Lin-Manuel quickly became a household name thanks to Lin-Manuel Miranda and his incredible work on both the Broadway stages and on the TV screens. Miranda's most famous work is undoubtedly Hamilton, the musical that took the world by storm. But Lin-Manuel is more than an award-winning composer, actor, and writer. He's also a philanthropist with strong ties to his community and kids getting into the arts. If you've stumbled upon the name Lin-Manuel without this previous interest in mind, then you can also consider its mixed origins. The Lin half is Chinese in origin, meaning "forest", and the Manuel portion is Hispanic and defined as "God is with us".
