What Does the Name Maneh Mean?
Maneh is a feminine given name with two distinct backgrounds. In Kurdish, the name is usually written Mane and comes from the Kurdish word mane, meaning 'meaning' or 'message', which is borrowed from Arabic ma'na (معنى), 'meaning'. In Persian, Maneh is commonly glossed as 'flower' or 'blossom', but this is a customary meaning rather than a securely reconstructed Old Iranian etymology. A separate Hebrew word, maneh (מָנֶה), is an ancient unit of weight or money, the mina, from Akkadian manû, 'to count'; it is not a traditional Hebrew given name.
Maneh Name History & Origins
The Kurdish name Mane is a direct use of the common noun mane, 'meaning', as a personal name. It is used in Kurdish-speaking regions, and the English spelling Maneh reflects the final vowel sound of the Kurdish form. In Persian, Maneh appears in modern name lists, where it is usually explained as 'flower', but its early history as a personal name is not clearly documented. The Hebrew maneh is a unit of weight mentioned in the Bible and later Jewish sources, but it has no continuous tradition as a personal name. The Kurdish, Persian, and Hebrew forms look alike in English transliteration, yet they belong to different languages and meanings.
