Germanic languages: Mannaz|proto=no is the conventional name of the /m/ rune of the Elder Futhark. It is derived from the reconstructed Proto-Germanic (or Common Germanic) word for 'man', Germanic languages: mannaz.
The Younger Futhark equivalent is Norse, Old: maðr ('man'). It took up the shape of the Norse, Old: [[algiz]] rune, replacing Elder Futhark .
As its sound value and form in the Elder Futhark indicate, it is derived from the letter for /m/,, in the Old Italic alphabets, ultimately from the Greek letter Greek, Ancient (to 1453);: mu|nocat=y (uppercase, lowercase).
The rune is recorded in all three rune poems, in the Norwegian and Icelandic poems as Norse, Old: maðr, and in the Anglo-Saxon poem as English, Old (ca.450-1100);: man.
