Rav Menashya, of the fourth Babylonian generation. The Bavli writes the name in two spellings, Menashya and Menashe, and the roster marks the entry for review: several sages carry the name and the bare form does not separate them.

He is named some thirty times across seventeen tractates, four of those inside another sage's patronymic, heaviest in Yevamot and Eruvin. Beyond that, the reference tradition holds little about this form that can be stated firmly.

Several sages of the name.
