Monse
Meaning of Monse
Monse traces its roots to Catalonia as a streamlined contraction of Montserrat, the name meaning “serrated mountain” that signifies both a prominent peak near Barcelona and its centuries-old abbey. Pronounced MOHN-seh (/ˈmɔn.se/) in Spanish, Monse arrives fully formed—no additional nicknames needed—and reflects a blend of quiet strength and cultural resonance. In the United States, the name first surfaced in the early 2000s and has maintained a modest but steady presence: it peaked at 34 occurrences in 2020, and in both 2023 and 2024 about fifteen newborn girls received the name, placing it near the 940th rank. This two-syllable choice appeals to parents seeking a distinctive yet approachable name that bridges Anglo-American sensibilities with Hispanic heritage.
