英語の語源
mane
mane: [OE] Mane goes back to a prehistoric Germanic *manō, which also produced German m?hne and Dutch mane. Related forms such as Swedish manke ‘neck’, Irish muin ‘nape of the neck’, archaic Welsh mwn ‘neck’, Latin monīle ‘necklace’, and Sanskrit manyā- ‘nape of the neck’ suggest that historically ‘neck’ is the primary, ‘neck-hair’ a secondary meaning of this word-family. It has been speculated that it goes back ultimately to Indo-European *men- ‘project’ (source of English eminent, prominent, etc).
mane (n.)
Old English manu "mane," from Proto-Germanic *mano (cognates: Old Norse m?n, Old Frisian mana, Middle Dutch mane, Dutch manen, Old High German mana, German M?hne "mane"), from PIE *mon- "neck, nape of the neck" (cognates: Sanskrit manya "nape of the neck," Old English mene "necklace," Latin monile "necklace," Welsh mwng "mane," Old Church Slavonic monisto, Old Irish muin "neck").
