Usage Estonian, Medieval Baltic
Meaning & History
Of uncertain origin and meaning. This name appears on an elder in the 'Chronicle of Henry of Livonia' (Latinized as Meme). It has been suggested that this name might be related to Estonian mehine "manly, manful", and thus be a cognate to Karelian miemoi "man, fellow". Other theories, however, include Latvian and Frisian origin.
