Mann meaning
Mann (मन) is a Hindu boy's name of Hindi and Gujarati origin (from Sanskrit manas).
The mind, heart, soul
Mann (मन, Gujarati મન) is the everyday Hindi and Gujarati word for the mind and heart, from Sanskrit manas. Platts describes man as the mind considered as the seat of perception and feeling, and also gives intellect, understanding, the heart and the soul. The same word begins names, such as Manish, Manoj and Manan, and appears in common phrases about a person's inner feelings. As a short name on its own, spelt with a double n, Mann is used for boys in Gujarati families. It is unrelated to the Punjabi and German surname Mann.
