manti

Uzbek manti

Turkish Kayseri manti

The immediate source is Turkish mantı or Ottoman Turkish مانطی. Before that the origin is obscure. The word was widespread in central Asia by the 13th century. The origin may also be Middle Chinese 饅頭 (muɑn dəu), which would make it a doublet of mandu, manju, and mantou.
