Etymology

From Ottoman Turkish مناو (manav), of unknown origin.[1] Marek Stachowski says, "The initial m- doesn't fit Turkish, but where does its origin lie?" He suggests that it may have passed from Turkish to the Balkan languages (or vice versa).[2] If it is of Turkic languages origin, it may have been adopted from the Kipchak/Tatar languages.[3]
