ArchivesManna
I have found this name on a Finnish woman; it has been used on around 111 women in Finland. It isn't in the Finnish name calendar, nor on this database as a Finnish name; the only thing I can find is its use as a Finnish male name on nordicnames.de.
Seeing as how Mann and Manni are, apparently, Estonian variants on Maria, would it be correct to assume that this is also a Finnish variant on Maria? Or does it have a separate origin?

I have no clue, but maybe this info will be of interest to you. It may be referring to Manna (also Manno, Mano) the Sami moon goddess.

Interesting!
It turns out that I had been reading nordicnames.de slightly incorrectly, and Manna is listed as a Finnish women’s name in their database. But thanks for your response anyway!
https://www.nordicnames.de/wiki/Manna_f - this is where I found (and ignored) the origins of Manna as a name in Finland.
