Mandu is English, Indian, Korean in Origin.
Mandu is a rare given name most strongly associated with India. As a toponymic choice, it refers to Mandu (Mandav), the famed hill-fort city in Madhya Pradesh. The place-name is commonly linked to Sanskrit/Prakrit mandapa-durga, meaning pavilion or temple-fort, giving the name overtones of refuge and sanctity. In Indo-Aryan usage, Mandu can also be an affectionate short form for Mand- names such as Mandar (sacred mountain/coral tree), Mandira (temple), or Mandakini (the gently flowing river).
Given-name use is sporadic in South Asia and the diaspora, and it sometimes appears as a surname from the place. Variants and related forms include Mandav (toponymic) and the personal names Mandar, Mandira, Mandakini; diminutives may be Mandy or Manu. Note that Korean mandu means dumpling, a separate word sometimes borrowed as a playful nickname rather than a formal given name.
