| Étymologie :
* M.N Bouillet (1863) : "Mancunium et Manduessedum" ******* * ALF Rivet & Colin Smith (1979) : - Itinéraire d'Antonin, 4687 (Iter II) : MAMUCIO; - Itinéraire d'Antonin, 4823 (Iter X) : MAMCUNIO; variante MANCUNIO. - Ravenna, 10658 : MANTIO; variantes MAUTIO, MANCIO. ' There can be little doubt that Mamucium is the correct form ; the aberrant forrns of both texts are readily explicable as involving letters repeatedly miscopied in medieval scripts. For long Mancunium was established, on the basis of the variant reading in AI's Iter X; Holder II. 401 still accepted it, and it is doubtless still firm in popular belief, but it was rejected (and a nearly correct etymology proposed) by Bradley in EHR, xv (1900), 495-96.DERIVATION. Jackson in Britannia, I (1970), 76, indicates a compound of British *mamma 'breast; round, breast-like hill' with the *-uc-io- suffixes discussed under our CICUCIUM. The Anglo-Saxon name shows the intermediate stage, Mameceaster (A.D. 923). R&C think the 'breast-like hill' was that on which the Roman fort lay. Such naming was not uncommon in several languages. In Moesia was Trimammio (AI 2222) = Trimamion in Ravenna 4923; in Spain, Mamblas (Avila) and Mambrillas (Burgos), and in Portugal Mamos, are based on Latin mammula. Watson CPNS 55 mentions the 'Two Paps of Anu', in Old Irish da chich Anann (hills on the eastern border of Kerry), and Zachrisson (1927) 80-81 mentions modem British names derived from Celtic *mamma : Mamhead (Devon), Mamble (Worcs.), Mam Tor (Derbys.), Maumbury Rings (Dorset) and Mamhilad (Monmouth). J. Hind in G. D. B.Jones and S. Grealy (eds.), Roman Manchester (Altrincham, 1974), 159-63, has a useful survey of the history of studies of this name, but it is quite unnecessary to suppose with him that te name was properly *Manduvicium 'pony village', for which there is no justification either textual or semantic. IDENTIFICATION. The Roman fort at Manchester, Lancashire (SJ 8397) ******* * Eilert Ekwall (1936) : " Mamucio (abl.) 4 Itinéraire d'Antonin; Mameceaster, 923 Anglo-Saxon-Chronicle; Mamecestre, Domesday Book; Manchestre 1330 Lancashire Inquest ... Du Vieux britonnique Mamucion, auquel a été ajouté l'Ancien anglais Ceaster". ******* * A.D Mills (1991) : " Mamucio 4th cent., Mamecestre 1086 DB. Old English ceaster 'Roman fort or town' added to a reduced form of the original Celtic name (meaning obscure, but probably containing Celtic *mamm 'breast-like hill" ******* Commentaire JCE : - pour Manduessedum : voir Mancetter, en Witherley, en Leicestershire. |
