Where is Mann?

Mann is a real island, also known as the Isle of Man, lying roughly equidistant from England, Ireland and Scotland. It has a culture and language going back many centuries. The Manx name of the Isle of Man is Ellan Vannin: ellan is a Manx word meaning 'island'; Mannin appears in the genitive case as Vannin , with initial consonant mutation, hence Ellan Vannin, 'Island of Mann'. The short form often used in English, Mann, is derived from the Manx Mannin, though sometimes the name is written as Man. The earliest recorded Manx form of the name is Manu or Mana.

The spelling had me fooled. I didn’t know Mann and the Isle of Man were the same place.

There is more than one place with the name Mann - in Liverpool, England for example. I've dealt over the years with the Isle of Man and had a good friends there but I've never seen them write the place as being "Mann". The question is confusing since there is more than one place with that name.

Mann island is in the river Mersey in Liverpool. The Isle of Man has had one n since the the late eighteenth century.

They have a breed of cat too named a Manx cat. It usually had no tail or a stumpy one.
