From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history

A female name. originally a Scottish pet-form of Mary. It became common in England in the 19th C and was often used as an independent name. Not in Charlotte Mary Yonge, History of ChristianNames, 2 vols. 1863. Revised ed. 1884.

The Oxford Dictionary of Christian Names (1947) by E. G. Withycombe

F. Teutonic, ‘love.’ As Helena Swan neatly determines, ‘This name, though generally used as a diminutive of Wilhelmina, or, in Ireland, of Mary, has a distinct... origin and meaning of its own. In Germany, Minna and Minne are still common names, dating back to the days of the troubadours, or, as they were then, in the twelfth and thirteenth (and fourteenth) centuries, called Minnesingers,’ those persistent and insistent chanters of courtly love: inculcators of a rarefied, emasculated ars amatoria: why did not Landor or Traill write a dialogue between Ovid (Tempora mutata, mutatae mores!) and Walther von der Vogel-weide (Unter den Linden mit mein Liebster...)?

Name This Child (1959) by Eric Partridge

Teutonic (feminine) - Borne in memory, beloved.

What is Your Name? (1863) by Sophy Moody

What is Your Name? (1863) by Sophy Moody
