O río Mendo nace en Curtis na parroquia de Foxado, pasa polos concellos de Oza-Cesuras e Coirós, fai de límite destes dous mencionados, e acaba desembocando na vila de Betanzos, formando, xunto co Río Mandeo, a Ría de Betanzos. di a wkipedia galega.
Ademais, sabemos que men significa homes e dos moitos significados de do escollemos:

(Pron. forms:dom, duit, dó m, di f, dúinn, daoibh, dóibh) (Lenites; becomes d’ before vowel or fh followed by vowel; combines (i) with article an to form don, (ii) with possessive adjectives a, ár, to form dá, dár. See dá2,3, dár1) To, for. 1. (Destination) Dul don siopa, don Spáinn, to go to the shop, to Spain. Cuir don chófra é, put it (by) in the chest.

Así que Mendo sería preto dos homes, para os homes, ou exclusivamente dos homes, un río reservado aos homes, quizais significando non contaminado polo gando, de augas reservadas para beber.
