From the era of Menasha's centennial celebration in 1953 comes this interesting translation of the city's name as "horn."  I had not heard that one before.  Usually, Menasha is attributed to mean "island" or "the settlement on the island."   But of late, I've seen many references on the internet claim the name means "thorn."  Or is "horn" a typo here and the writer meant "thorn?"
