Menzies

Menzies is a Scottish surname, occasionally a first name. Some American place names are derived also from the name.

The original pronunciation of the name is [ mɪŋɪs ], since z is actually a replacement for the uncustomary since Mittelschottischen letter ȝ ( yogh ). Therefore, he is often abbreviated ( at least as a first name ) to Ming. The now often encountered pronunciation [ menziz ] is therefore taken exactly wrong.
