The Menzies surname in historical dictionaries

Said to be originally Maynoers, Meyners, then Menys afterward Meynes or Mengies, and now Menzies--a branch of the family of Manners, in England, the name being originally the same. I think, rather, the name is derived from the parish of Monzie, in Perthshire, Scotland.
