It6 allegedly means Bird Man, usually translated as a phrase ( not as one word) and this had some ritual meaning on Easter Island, was worked into a Science Fiction story. The lead character, an inventor, queried of an anthropologist- what is the meaning of Tangata Manu- to which the anthropologist replied- ( The Bird Man!) and went on to describe the cult.
