Etymology[edit]
Origin disputed.
- Compare Aromanian mãndzu, Megleno-Romanian mǫndz; possibly from or related and cognate to Albanian (Gheg) mâz (compare standard mëz and Old Albanian manz) through the substratum, or of Illyrian origin.
- Compare the Thracian word mezenai (“horse”) and Messapic Menzana, a horse deity.[1]
- Compare also Italian manzo, Latin mannus and Gaulish manduos, probably ultimately from the same source.
