Mane is a form of the Yiddish name Man (Manes, Manek...), meaning "man" in the 'honourable' sense of the term, not just the contrary of "woman". Like in "he's a really man, he's worthy, good, intelligent, brave...". http://data.jewishgen.org/wconnect/wc.dll?jg~jgsearch~model~GNDB_POLA~MANEK~GT~!1!!2!!3!~0~USRECORD781It could also be a nickname of Emmanuel. http://data.jewishgen.org/wconnect/wc.dll?jg~jgsearch~model~GNDB_POLA~MANE~GT~!1!!2!!3!~0~USRECORD640

:-) I think . . .That she was still talking about Vedna - I think "mane" was a typo of "name".Oh well!
