Refers to the Minto Hills near the Scottish village. A pleonastic compound of Old Welsh minid (“mountain”), from Proto-Brythonic *mönɨð, from Proto-Celtic *moniyos, from Proto-Indo-European *men- (“to tower, stand out”), and 古期英語 hōh (“hill spur, promontory”), from Proto-Germanic *hanhaz (“heel”), from Proto-Indo-European *kenk-, *kemǝk- (“joint, legbone”).
