Origin of minge¹

C20: from Romany; of obscure origin

For five minutes she held her handkerchief to her eyes, and then Mr. Minge rose and looked at his watch.

Mr. Minge turned pale, and grasped the carved balustrade against which he rested.

For several weeks she was dangerously ill, and was just able to sit up when Mr. Minge discovered her.

Mr. Minge redoubled his exertions, and at last found her in one of the hospitals connected with a convent.

His name occurs in 1718 in two small court actions to collect bad debts and in another against Robert Minge for trespass.
