Member Since: February 2003 Posts: 0 Send Message	Hi, Does anyone know where the word "munna" originates and what does it mean. My mother lived with her grandmother (my great grandmother) who was from Stromness, Orkney when she was very young and she used to call her grandmother "munna". I have had no luck tracing details of my great grandmother and was wondering if I new the origin of this word it might give me a new lead. Many thanks Fred
