Meaning & History
Probably either from Arabic مَنَا (manā) meaning "mete out, distribute" or "test, determine" or مُنِيَة (muniya) meaning "fate, destiny, desire, wish". This was the name of the Semitic goddess of time, fate, fortune and death who was worshipped in pre-Islamic Arabia. She was one of the three principal goddesses of Mecca alongside her sisters Al-ʻuzzā and Allat.
