No, I dont think it's a common name and the only rference I know, manila envelopes (in Latin America) are those yellow big office envelopes but the last name doesn't mean anything.
Reply:not really;


the most common last names are ( i believe):


Garcia


Lopez


Rodriguez


Martinez
Reply:I don't think so. I lived in Mexico for 36 years and never heard it before.
Reply:Manilla is not the same thing as Manila. They are pronounced differently. To answer your question "manila" is not a common last name, personally I've never heard it as a last name.
