Menno (Dutch pronunciation: [ˈmɛnoː] ⓘ) is a Dutch masculine given name of Old Frisian origin. It was made popular by the influential Frisian religious reformer Menno Simons, and the name was spread by his followers, the Mennonites.[citation needed]
Menno is the Dutch version of Frisian Meine. Like other Germanic names with mein-, it stems from megin- "power, strength".[1]
