Sounds reasonable.
But it is noteworthy that the Frisian name 'Menneke' itself is also called a variant of Meine on that site I mentioned.
The word menneke (or even 'man') isn't the origin of any surname on there. It's not likely that that is because they never heard of it, there must be a reason we don't know about.
You'll agree that menneke==>menneke is even more obvious than your example :D
