Why was Manchester called Manchester?

This question is actually for my geography essay. It would also help if I got the name of who named Manchester in UK.

This is for my geography essay.
And why was Manchester located where it is now? Who were the first people to settle here?

Best person to answer will get full points. Thanks

The name Manchester originates from the Ancient Roman name Mamucium, thought to be a Latinisation of an original Celtic name (possibly meaning "breast-like hill" from mamm- = "breast"), plus Anglo-Saxon ceaster = "town", which is derived from Latin castra = "camp".[12]

Well -chester means that the origin is Roman.
