Does man or Manu have a Greek or Latin root?
Man, as in male person, comes neither from Greek nor Latin, It has a Germanic root. Manu is more difficult without a context. There is an oceanic word manu which means bird. Manu is also a Hindi word for the first man, and derives from Sanskrit. (The Germanic languages and Sanskrit both derive from Indo-European). Manu, as short for Manuel is a Spanish/Portuguese name deriving from Latin and late Greek, but of course there are other similar names such as the Hebrew Emmanuel. The many English words beginning with manu- such as manual, derive from the Latin manus, meaning hand.
