Etymology
From Old English Mameċeaster, from the original Brythonic name represented by Imperial Latin Mamucium (maybe from a word related to Proto-Brythonic *mamm (“mother; female animal; womb”), in reference to a breast-shaped hill) and Old English ċeaster (“Roman fort”), from Latin castra (“camp”).
