Menno (Dutch pronunciation: [ˈmɛnoː] ^ⓘ) is a Dutch masculine given name of Old Frisian origin. It was made popular by the influential Frisian religious reformer Menno Simons (West Frisian: Minne Simens), and the name was spread by his followers, the Mennonites.^{[citation needed]}

Menno is the Dutch version of Frisian Meine. Like other Germanic names with mein-, it stems from megin- "power, strength".^[1]
