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... :)
