All around the world, Минэ (峰 , Mine , 岸 , among others...) is a prevalent predominantly masculine, but scarcely female given name. The forename Минэ is habitual in China, where it is a common principally boy's, but very seldom feminine name, Japan, where it is quite a common female name, and Mauritania, where it is quite a rare epicene name. Measured by absolute frequency, it most frequently occurs in China, Japan, and Turkey. Much less frequently, Минэ is the last name as well as the forename.
Минэ is also a name for the fictitious and mythical characters: Mine worker , the theatrical character in the play "The Other Alexander" and Mine Host of the Garter Inn , the operatic character in the opera Falstaff by Giuseppe Verdi.
