that might be so but there's no better source than the people from the originating country like me
what concerns the previous message about that source and 'Meine', well it must be another explanation, but the mine is the most accurate.
i mean: just look at it: menke ==> menneke
isn't that obvious enough?
i don't need to add a webpage to confirm that Marie and Maria are from the same origin, do i?

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

yes i agree :)
and i also have to say that i added two other Frisian names with their derivations:
frouke ==> vrouwke (little woman)
meike ==> meiske (little girl)
and those weren't submitted to the database too
guess i have to send him a copy of some book or something

Manne derives from the word 'man', as well as Manja (f).
You could add Onno as well... :)
