History & Origin

Menaye has no recorded etymology. It belongs to the modern American family of names ending in -nae and -naye: Renae, Janae, Denae, Danae. Danae alone has an older history, as a figure of Greek myth, but the others are twentieth-century formations and Menaye is not descended from any of them. We therefore present it honestly as a coinage whose routes are uncertain, rather than borrowing a meaning it does not have (said 'muh-NY').

It appears only in very small numbers in the U.S. Rare, brisk, and newly emerging.

Did you know? The -naye ending on Menaye belongs to a family of modern American names - Renae, Janae, Denae - built for their music rather than descended from a shared word.
