Muthe meaning | Last name Muthe origin

The Muthe is the form of Matts. A derivative of Matthew.

Muthe is variant form of Mann. This is a proper name of vast antiquity—the Mannus of the Teutonic mythology. Tacitus says of the Germans (cap. ii.): They celebrate in their ancient hymns, Tuisco, the earth-born, and his son Mannus, the originators and founders of their race: "Celebrant carminibus antiquis Tuistonem, terra editum, et filium Mannum, originem gentis conditoresque." Hence, doubtless, our word man, homo. Once adopted as a personal name, it would naturally become a surname. In some cases, however, the name is derived from Le Man, a native of the province of Maine, analogous to Le Breton, Le Norman, etc. Possibly also from the island in the Irish sea.

Form of Mann. Man, Servant, Vassal; also in the Celtic, hero; for, in Erse, "maon" signifes a hero. The name may also be derived from Maine (the province), Man (the island), Scotch, manas or mains, farm or fields, Welsh, maen, stone, Romance, man, Norman; or from Mani, the Moon, as, in the ancient Teutonic languages, the moon, called Mani, is of the customary in some parts of Germany to show them proper respect by calling them Mr. Moon and Mrs. Sun.

According to Tacitus, the Germans had a tradition that they were descended from Mann (Mannus), son of Tuiso, son of Odin.

When "man" occurs as a termination, it appears to have various meanings; as, firstly, in the names Adelmann, Bannerman, Spearman, Prettyman, which require no explanation. Secondly, to signify dealer, maker, or worker; as Appelman, Cheeseman, Kammann, Saltman, Woolman. Thirdly, dweller in or by; as, Hulsemann, Parkman, Templeman. And fourthly, serf or vassal; Heiligenmann, Konigsmann.

Sir Walter Maign, Knight, lived temp. King David Bruce (1331-1370), from whom he got a charter : "domino Waltero Maign, Milti, terrnarum de Auchluchry in Vice Comitatu de Aberedeen." His descendants, some of whom settled in other counties, wrote the name Mayne, Main, and Mann.
