Answers:
The almanac used to be only a publication showing the tides, weather, full moons, etc. So it would most likely come from a word referring to the weather or climate.
Wikipedia says: 'The word almanac comes from the Arabic المناخ al-manaakh, meaning "the climate".'
Almanac comes from the Arabic "al-manaakh" meaning "the climate."
Etymology is certainly interesting, though; it's hard to tell how many of the words you listed have similar roots.
The dictionary says LGr. That is Latin and Greek. So, you can ignore the others.
You are on the right track.
al mana is of arabic origin : the diary,a calendar
almanach is an arab-german mixture (the "ch" is a german
ending of a word),
thus, almanach means= annual publication including a calendar and diverse useful information
