How the two words are related
Loanword
Borrowed between the languages (or by both from a third).
Hebrew מנגו and Arabic mānjū are both recent loans of the same well-traveled word, ultimately from Tamil māṅkāy by way of Portuguese manga — arriving in each language along a different modern trade route rather than through any shared Semitic root.
