Etymology

Inherited from Proto-West Germanic *manōn, from Proto-Germanic *manōną, from Proto-Indo-European *men- (“to think”). Cognate with Old Frisian monia, Old Saxon manōn (Dutch manen), Old High German manōn (German mahnen). The Indo-European root is also the source of Ancient Greek μένος, μένους (ménos, ménous), Latin mēns, mentis, Welsh mynnu, Russian мни́ть (mnítʹ), Lithuanian miñti.
