Inherited from Proto-West Germanic *manōn, from Proto-Germanic *manōną, from Proto-Indo-European *men- (“to think”).

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.

     Forþon cnyssað nū heortan ġeþōhtas, þæt iċ hēan strēamas, sealtȳþa ġelāc sylf cunniġe; monað mōdes lust mǣla ġehwylċe ferð tō fēran, þæt iċ feor heonan elþēodiġra eard ġesēċe.

     Thus, thoughts are now striking heart so that I know high streams, the tossing of the salt waves myself; the mind’s wish of each times goads soul to fare so that I hence would seek a far land of overseas folks.
