I know there are many who know far more on the subject than I do but my answer would be that Mann is the ancient name of the Island. While "Isle of Man" is the name we foreigners have forced upon it.
My Mother and her family always referred to it as Mann, I assume that was because my GGrandparents were born on the Island.
