Can also derive from Old High German Minna "love" (modern German Minne "intimate, romantic love" [now poetic or archaic]) or Old Norse minni "memory". Both are descendants of Proto-Indo-European *men-, *mnā- "to think; mind, intellect; spiritual activity" and of Proto-Germanic *minþiją "memory, remembrance".
