Detailed Slovak etymology analysis

Manona sa pravdepodobne utvorila z francúzskeho ženského mena Manon rozšírením o príponu -a. Manon je pôvodne domácka podoba mena Marie, slovenského Mária, ktoré sa prostredníctvom gréčtiny a latinčiny spája s hebrejským menom Mirjam. Pôvodný význam mena Mirjam nie je spoľahlivo objasnený.
