From Middle English maunde, maundie, borrowed from Old French mande, borrowed from Middle Dutch mande, from Old Dutch *manda, from Proto-West Germanic *mandu.
词源 2
From Hindi मन (man) / Urdu من (man), and their source, Persian من, from Middle Persian, from Akkadian 𒈠𒉡𒌑 (manû). The -d is probably from assimilation with Etymology 1 above, or from comparison with pound.

Unclear, but possibly from French mendier or quémander (“to beg”). Compare Romani mang (“to beg”).
