History & Origin
Menaal is a romanised form of the Arabic Manal or Minal, from a root meaning 'to attain'. Long borne in Arabic- and Urdu-speaking families, it entered United States records with South Asian and Middle Eastern naming in the two-thousands and twenty-tens.
It stayed uncommon in America, a couple dozen girls a year at most around the mid twenty-tens. A girl given it then is still a child or young teen now, and it reads as a heritage name newly arrived rather than an established American choice.
