M nomenclature (from the IAU and from unofficial sources)

Italics indicate farside features.

Note:
Johann Hewelcke's name Mons Mampsarus is a typographical error. On his chart it is Mons Campsarus.
Note:
- Mandela (the name Mandela or Nelson Mandela International Peace Crater has been proposed for Plana G, in honor of Nelson Mandela, by the Luna Society International, but this has not been approved by the IAU).
Note:
- Mount Marilyn is perhaps the very first one of the NASA-related nicknames (of the Apollo era, Apollo 8 / Apollo 10) to be officially recognized by the IAU (July 2017).
