The name is Greek (), perhaps meaning 'mindful of her husband': from the noun 'man'; and either the verb 'to be mindful of', from , 'to protect, rule over', or the verb 'to deliberate, contrive, decide'. These verbs are related to 'plans, cunning', the likely origin of the name of Medea, the sorceress.
