Mannan Family History
Mannan Name Meaning
Muslim (mainly the Indian subcontinent): from a personal name based on Arabic mannān ‘benevolent bountiful’. Al-Mannān ‘the Bountiful’ is an attribute of Allah giving rise to the compound name ʿAbd al-Mannān ʿAbdul-Mannān ‘servant of the Bountiful’. Indian (Tamil Nadu): from a personal name derived from a Tamil word meaning ‘king’. — Note: Since South Indians traditionally do not have hereditary surnames this name was in most cases registered as such only after immigration of its bearers to the US. Irish: variant of Mannion . English: variant of Manning .
