Etymology
1. From Middle Dutch mâne, from Old Dutch māno, from Proto-West Germanic *mānō, from Proto-Germanic *mēnô, from Proto-Indo-European *mḗh₁n̥s.
2. The Germanic word was originally masculine (compare German Mond), but it became feminine in Early Middle Dutch (perhaps by analogy with zon). See: German Nouns '
Mond'.
