Etymology
Manston, Mainestun (e ), Manestun (e )1086 DB, Manston 1247–85 YD ii, 1276 RH, 1285 KI, l. 13 Kirkstet passim to 1549 Test vi, Manstone 1564 Visit, 1574 WillY. Most spellings point to an OE Man (n )es -tūn 'Mann's farmstead', from the OE pers.n. Mann and tūn . But if the DB Maines - is to be trusted it is rather 'Mægen's farmstead', from an OE pers.n. Mægen (as in Manningham iii, 246supra , which also has the change of Mægen - to Man - from the thirteenth century); this accords with the scantier evidence available for Manston (cf. Phonol. § 11).
