The surname is listed on census records from 1840 on with various spellings: Menameyer, Minamier, Minamoyer, Minamyer, Minemier, Minemire, Minemyer, Minemyer, Minimayer, Minimoyer, Minnemeyer, Minnemyer, and Minnimoyer.

It is believed that Nicholas immigrated to the US with his widowed mother, Magadalene (Maga) Minemyer sometime prior to 1840. She is listed as having been born in Germany. The family originated in Alsace Lorraine which was claimed by France and Germany off and on for decades. It seems to depend upon what country was in control of the city at any given time.
