Borrowed from German Mann (“man”). Doublet of man and Manu.

mann (plural manns or mannen)

1. (chess) A fairy chess piece that can move to any adjacent square. It moves like a king but is not a royal piece.
   • 2018 October 12, aabicus, “My 7 Favorite Fairy Chess Pieces”, in The Daily SPUF‎^[1], archived from the original on 27 December 2025:

     The mann moves like a king but is not royal; he cannot castle and he’s allowed to be captured. The mann is most popular for chess theorists who wish to discuss the king as an attacking piece, or for chess puzzles that wish to use a non-royal king.

Backformation from the comparative manner, from Middle High German minder, from Old High German minniro (“less; fewer”), from Proto-West Germanic *minniʀō, from Proto-Germanic *minnizô, and/or reinterpretation (as a positive) of Old High German min (“less”), from Proto-Germanic *minniz, adverbial form of the former.

Compare the same in Dutch min. The Luxembourgish vocalism is regular through -i- → -a- in closed syllables.

Inherited from Old Norse mann, the accusative singular of maðr (“man; person”), from Proto-Germanic *mann- (“man; person”).^[1][2]

• “mann” in Norwegian Academy Dictionary (NAOB).

• mannj, mainn, mainnj (spellings reflecting palatalization)

Originally the word only had the sense "human" but later changed to primarily designate an adult male, the original meaning being replaced by words such as menneske and person. Believed to ultimately be from Proto-Germanic *mann-, stemming from the Proto-Indo-European *man- (a root). Cognate with Swedish man, Danish mand, Faroese and Icelandic maður, English man and many others.

2. (mostly in regular sayings and idioms) human being, person
3. person with certain praiseworthy qualities, often used about males
4. husband (see also ektemann)

In compounds, the word often maintains the original meaning of human or person regardless of gender, such as in sidemann (“seatmate”), sistemann (“last person”), as well as various titles for positions, like rådmann (“councillor”). Cf. kvinnmann (“woman”) and karmann (“man”).

   • c. 800–825, Diarmait, Milan Glosses on the Psalms, published in Thesaurus Palaeohibernicus (reprinted 1987, Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies), edited and with translations by Whitley Stokes and John Strachan, vol. I, pp. 7–483, Ml. 97^d10

     Is peccad díabul lesom .i. fodord doïb di dommatu, ⁊ du·fúairthed ní leu fora sáith din main, ⁊ todlugud inna féulæ ɔ amairis nánda·tibérad Día doïb, ⁊ nach coimnacuir ⁊ issi dano insin ind frescissiu co fochaid.

     It is a double sin in his opinion, i.e. the murmuring by them of want, although there remained some of the manna with them upon their satiety, and demanding the meat with faithlessness that God would not give it to them, and [even] that he could not; therefore that is the expectation with testing.
