Manapii
Dream Gaelach in Éirinn ársa ba ea na Manapii, luaite le Tolamaes ina shaothar, Geografaíocht, den dara haois AD. Tá Contae Fhear Manach ainmnithe astu.
Deirtear go minic gurb ionann a n-ainm agus is na Menapii.[1][2] Meastar gur P-Cheiltis iad an dá ainm, fréamhaithe b'fhéidir ón bPrótai-Cheiltis *mano- (de rogha air sin *meno- nó *mono-) le brí nó "smaoineamh" nó "siúl". Tá seans ann go bhfuil fréamh eile ann, *mono-, ón bPrót-Ind-Eorpais *men- le brí "ardú", óna dtagann na focail Bhriotainic le haghaidh "sliabh".[3]
