What is the meaning of the word "Mina"?

The name Mina could have two origins. It is derived from the word 'mennah' which means 'grace or gift'. The name was also known in pharaonic times. Pharaoh Mena united Upper and Lower Egypt and established the first dynasty. This pharaonic name is a variation of the name Menes derived from the name 'Men' which means "established".
