Etymologie (Engels)

Overgenomen van Middelengels: mone

Overgenomen van Oudengels: *mān

Verwant aan Old Frisian: mēne

Verwant aan Oudhoogduits: meina

Verwant aan Oudengels: mǣnan

In summary

From Middle English mone, mane, mān, (also as mene), from Old English *mān, *mǣn (“complaint; lamentation”), from Proto-West Germanic *mainu, from Proto-Germanic *mainō (“opinion; mind”).
Cognate with Old Frisian mēne (“opinion”), Old High German meina (“opinion”). Old English *mān, *mǣn is inferred from Old English mǣnan (“to complain over; grieve; mourn”). More at mean.
