Etymology

From Proto-West Germanic *gamundi, from Proto-Germanic *gamundiz, ultimately from a prefixed form of Proto-Indo-European *men- (“to think, remember”), equivalent to ġe- + *mynd. Cognate with Old High German gimunt, Gothic (gamunds); and with Sanskrit मन (mana), Ancient Greek μέμονα (mémona), Latin mēns, Old Church Slavonic мьнѣти (mĭněti) (Russian мнить (mnitʹ)), Lithuanian miñti, Old Irish menmae, Tocharian A mnu.
