Manan has various meanings in various languages. And interestingly most of them can be related to MaNan.😃

Gaelic

Manan is "a new beginning " or "morning ", a "new day" or "opportunity". It insinuates a positive feeling towards an opportunity, or fresh start.

(According to a popular legend in Irish folklore, "The Giant Boulder" - the name of the hero in the story was Manan. Manan saved the Irish village from destruction by positioning a giant boulder blocking the sea, preventing the town's inhabitants from drowning; that village later called every clan leader by the honorary name of Manan, and it stands for honor, strength, and greatness.)


Sanskrit

Manan means deep thought, contemplation, or profound reflection. The root of the word is man (Sanskrit ) " the mind " i.e., the faculty that produces thoughts and feelings.

In Vedanta group of Hindu philosophical traditions (see, for instance, Paranjpe 1998, p. 173), there are three steps to self-realization: (1) "shravana" i.e., careful listening to the teaching of the Vedanta, (2) "manana" i.e., repeatedly and deeply reflecting on or contemplating what is learned from those teachings, and (3) "nididhyasana" i.e., becoming completely absorbed in contemplation that no other thought enters the mind.


Tamil

Mannan means "king" or "leader" in Tamil.


Persian

Manan's meaning encompasses the ideas of conscience, mind, and soul. It insinuates the qualities of thoughtfulness, sensitivity, and consideration. The name apparently also means fun-loving, naughty, and joyous as well as disciplined and righteous.
