[7] mun: myn A, ‘[…]un’ B, mun 744ˣ
[7] mun (f.) ‘one moving forward’: A hap. leg. The heiti is most likely connected with the weak verb muna ‘move forward’ (see Fritzner: muna 2; cf. also the next name). If the correct form is myn (so A), this could be the Old Norse name for the river Maun in Nottinghamshire, England (CVC 780; see also Rygh 1904, 165). Ekwall (1928, 280) thinks Maun is a later back formation, however, and if so, this could not be the source of the Old Norse form.
