Etymology
From (deprecated template usage) [etyl] Old Galician-Portuguese meninno, menỹo (the expected palatal nasal survives in the Galician cognate meniño), of uncertain origin:
- From (deprecated template usage) [etyl] Latin minimus.
- From a Gallo-Romance language (cf. Catalan minyó (“boy”), French mignon (“cute”) ).
- From (meu ninno):, with (ninno): being a borrowing from Old Spanish niño. The alveolar nasal may have arisen due to conflation with Old Portuguese neno, from Vulgar Latin *ninnus.
- From Lua error in Module:parameters at line 290: Parameter 2 should be a valid language, etymology language or family code; the value "qfa-sub-ibe" is not valid. See WT:LOL, WT:LOL/E and WT:LOF., perhaps from Proto-Indo-European *mey- (“small”) (compare Middle Irish menn (“kid”), Middle Breton menn (“young goat”), Middle Welsh myn (“kid”), from Proto-Celtic *menno-)[1].
