History & Origin

Mang is a one-syllable name whose route we cannot trace. Words and name-elements that look or sound similar occur in a number of unrelated languages, but none of them is demonstrably the source of this entry, and we decline to assign one. This is a case where the honest position is uncertainty, which we state plainly rather than fill with a guess.

It is very rare for boys in the U.S. and newly emerging. Rare, blunt, and undocumented.
