Where this word comes from

Of Celtic origin: the Celts originally called it *Moïn, *Mogin, later Latinized by the Romans to Moenus, the form Moenis first attested 43 CE by Pomponius Mela. The meaning is uncertain, possibly Proto-Indo-European *mey- (“to strengthen”) (comparable to moenia (“walls”), or Proto-Celtic *mānis < Proto-Indo-European *meh₂- (“damp, wet, moist”) (see also Irish móin (“bog, moor”)). Compare the river Meon in England.
