Help[Facts] Re: Eulogio and Mamon
in reply to a message by Alex
Any idea of the language/culture Mamon comes from?
It might be linked to Mammon, which is a term used to describe material wealth or greed, or the demonic personification thereof, in Judeo-Christian mythology. That ultimately comes from the Aramaic 'mamon' meaning "riches" or from a word in a form of Hebrew, 'ממון (mmôn) meaning "money, possessions".
That seems unlikely, however, if it's being used as a personal name.
Could it alternatively be a form of Manon?

a.k.a The Dying Daylight in disguise, or Wino Horse... either way.
