词源

Refers to the Minto Hills near the Scottish village. A pleonastic compound of Cumbric *mïnïδ (“mountain”), from Proto-Brythonic *mönɨð, from Proto-Celtic *moniyos, from Proto-Indo-European *men- (“to tower, stand out”), and Old English hōh (“hill spur, promontory”), from Proto-Germanic *hanhaz (“heel”), from Proto-Indo-European *kenk-, *kemǝk- (“joint, legbone”). The latter element was added after the meaning of the former had become obscure. Recorded as Munethov in 1166 and Mynetowe in 1296.
