Mendeis
Mendeis (Ancient Greek: Μενδέις) is a Thracian nymph in Greek mythic genealogies, presented as consort to the local king Sithon and mother of the princess Pallene. She functions primarily as a place-linked maternal figure anchoring lineage and toponymy in regional legend.
Menehune
Menehune are a Hawaiian tradition of very small, secretive forest- and valley‑dwelling people credited in folklore with exceptional night‑time craftsmanship (fishponds, heiau, roads, etc.). Scholarly sources debate whether they reflect an earlier population, a social category (Tahitian manahune), or a post‑contact myth fused with European small‑folk motifs.
Menelaus
Menelaus is a mytho-historical king of Sparta in the Greek epic tradition, husband of Helen and a leader in the Trojan War cycle.

Legendary first Emperor of Ethiopia and ancestral founder of the Solomonic dynasty who, in Ethiopian tradition, links Ethiopian monarchy to the biblical House of David through descent from King Solomon and the Queen of Sheba. Central to his narrative is the transfer or removal of the Ark of the Covenant to Ethiopia and the establishment of a sacred custodial tradition around it.
Menemachus
Menemachus is not a mythological being in the supplied sources but a personal name with two distinct attestations: (1) a historical Greek physician (Greek: Μενέμαχος) of the Methodic school, active in the 2nd century CE and cited by later medical authors; and (2) a taxonomic usage recorded on Wikidata as a genus of insects. Neither source treats Menemachus as supernatural.

Meng Po (孟婆; Mèng Pó, literally 'Old Lady Meng') is a deity-like underworld official in Chinese folk religion who administers a brew—the Five Flavored Soup (迷魂汤; míhúntāng, 'waters of oblivion')—to newly dead souls on the Bridge of Oblivion so they forget prior lives before reincarnation.
Menglöð
Menglöð is an Old Norse supernatural female figure attested in the poem-cycle Svipdagsmál as the guarded maiden whom the hero Svipdagr seeks to woo and wed. She resides in an enchanted hall protected by a giant sentinel, dogs, a clay wall and a wall of fire; surviving sources present her mainly in this narrative-ritual context rather than as a fully articulated cultic deity.

The term 'Mengues' (also attested as 'Mengue') is documented in the provided sources only as an onomastic item — a surname, a village toponym in Cameroon, and as a name/title used in Spanish-language and contemporary artistic works. The sources contain no evidence that 'Mengues' denotes a supernatural or folkloric entity.
Menhit
Menhit (also Menhyt, Menchit) is a Nubian-origin lioness war goddess incorporated into Egyptian religion as a martial tutelary and solar-associated deity. She is commonly depicted as a lioness bearing a solar disk and the uraeus and is linked in myth to the Eye of Ra tradition and to royal protective iconography.
