Friedrich Engels is a German philosopher and social scientist born in the 19th century, best known for co-authoring The Communist Manifesto with Karl Marx and for foundational work in Marxist theory. The name combines a German given name with a German surname, and is usually cited in scholarly contexts with both components fully pronounced. In English contexts, speakers often segment it as two proper nouns: Friedrich and Engels, preserving the German phonology of each.
