Origin of Enges Total Records: 1  Origin of Enges, Meaning of Enges Origin: The name Mangus is nothing more than the phonetic spelling of the old German name Menges. The change occurred in the early 1800s when phonetic spelling was popular in the United States. The name went from Menges to Mangas to Mangus, and to numerous other variant spellings such as Manges, Minges, Mangos, etc. In German grammar, the letter "e" is sounded like an "a" and all of these names should be pronounced the same; Mang'-as and not Mang'-gus as is so often heard. The root or stem for Menges is from an old German tribe called the Meng, who were Franks from the Franconia area of Germany. Surnames: Menges, Mangas, Mangus Submitted by: John M.
