Thats quite a story! Manikanta, meaning "jewel-necked one," is linked to Shiva, a powerful Hindu god.

Description:

I checked many idiom dictionaries and databases, but found nothing. The names meaning itself is strong and suggests intelligence.

This names connection to Shiva as Shankara is strong. Parvati, Shivas wife, is also closely linked. Big celebrations for this name include Maha Shivaratri, honoring Shivas power, and Kartik Purnima, celebrating Shivas win over Tripurasura. These festivals are huge deals, full of rituals and ceremonies.

Manikantas a cool name! Its tough to find perfect matches because of how languages work, but we can look at names that share its core ideas. Think "jewel" – names like Ratna or Mani fit that. Or, if we focus on the "beloved" part, Priya, Ananta, or other love-related names could work. The "throat" part is trickier, but maybe names linked to sound or voice could be loosely connected.
