Subject: RE: BS: What have the Manx ever done for us ?
The Isle of Man was named for Mananan mac Lir who was one of the Celtic Gods. A sea god, he protected the island with a thick fog so no one knew it was there and raiders could not find it.
The name has nothing to do with gender. If BobbyBob picks up this thread, maybe he will expand on the subject.
