This is an old Irish name associated with such heroes as the seventeenth century chieftain, scholar and poet Manus O'Donnell. It is likely a variation of Magnus, itself derived from the Latin word for "greatest", though the literal Latin translation of <em>manus</em> connects it to the hand, and more figuratively to work, fighting, violence, writing, and a group of soldiers.
