Family name origins & meanings

  • French : unexplained. Perhaps a respelling of Monatte, a habitational name from either of two localities named La Monatte: in Craponne-sur-Arzon in Haute-Loire, or Saint-Bonnet-le Coureau in Loire.
  • Jewish (Ashkenazic) : ornamental name from German Monat ‘month’.
