English: of uncertain origin. It may be a nickname for a
beggar, from an agent derivative of maund ‘beg’ (probably from
Old French mendier, Late Latin mendicare); this word is
not attested before the 16th century, but may well have been in use
earlier. Alternatively it may be an occupational name for a maker of
baskets, from an agent derivative of Middle English maund
‘basket’ (Old French mande, of Germanic origin); or perhaps for
someone in some position of authority, from a shortened form of Middle
English coma(u)nder (from coma(u)nden ‘to command’).German: habitational name from places called Mandern, in
Hesse and the Rhineland.Belgian (van der Mander):
habitational name from a place called Ter Mandere or Mandel, in West
Flanders, derived from the river name Mandel.Indian
