(Lat. mynecena, fern. of munuc; allied to moniales) is the name of a class of English monastics who flourished in 1009 and 1017, and were probably Benedictines. They differed from nuns in being of younger age, and under a rule more strict. See Walcott, Sacred Archceology, s.v.; Lea, Sacerdotal Celibacy, page 179, note.
