Before 1800, the name Menz, Menze or Menzen was more commonly
used; however, the MenTz version was used and developed
over the recent history of Germany (last 300 years). Commentators
on German history have researched and suggest that Men(t)z
is low german or a shorter/pet name for Meinhard or Meinrich.
