Note 128 — X ST. MICHAEL’S MOUNT

Reading edition

Anmaneth may be an Anglicised form of An-manegh (cf. Carnyorth and Respeth for Carnyorgh and Respegh), but it is more likely that Amaneth is an adjectival form, viz. Manéghek or Menaghek, which became successively Menéhek, Meneck, Menek, Meneage (cf. infra Trevanaek). I am indebted to Mr. Henry Jenner for this suggestion and for some other notes on the derivation of Cornish place-names.
