Square Enix uses the bastardized American pronunciation “man-nuh” for the English dubs, which is not incorrect, but the original pronunciation is “maw-nuh”

And here I thought it was derived and bastardized from “manna” the bread. TIL

Which, to be fair, is also derived from a word which would be most accurately (with English vowels) pronounced as mah-nuh. Although at this point “manna” is definitively also a word of English whose correct pronunciation is with /æ/.

Yeah, I was pleasantly surprised. I love learning things about indigenous cultures.
