Editing Manannán mac Lir (section)

===Etymology===
According to some,{{who|date=July 2024}} his name is derived from the [[Isle of Man]] with the {{lang|ga|-an}} suffix indicating 'one who is from' the named place. The island's name itself may come from a Celtic word for 'mountain' or 'rise', as the Isle of Man rises from the sea on the horizon.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Kneale |first=Victor |chapter=Ellan Vannin (Isle of Man).
