Inherited from Ottoman Turkish مانقفا (mankafa, “fool: glanders”), a compound of (dialectal) mank (“dumb”) + kafa (“head”). Compare Kyrgyz маң баш (maŋ baş, “muddle-headed, stupid”), from маң (maŋ, “hashish”) and Mongolian мангар (mangar, “stupid, fool: drunk”). Alternatively, from (dialectal) manka (“one who speaks nasally”) + kafa (“head”).
