Etymology
Attested as Munnekij in 1899. Difficult to interpret due to a paucity of old attestations. Potentially a compound of monnik (“monk”) and kade (“quay, embankment”) or a term denoting an artificial mound used for habitation. An alternative reading of the toponym interprets it as a derivation from a term meaning "dungheap". Compare Munnikij.
