Montae
Meaning of Montae
Montae, a masculine given name of contemporary Anglo-American usage, derives from the Romance-rooted base Monte—itself tracing to the Latin word mons, montis (“mountain”)—and is distinguished by its terminal -ae orthographic variant that has emerged in recent decades. Its pronunciation in English, mon-TAY (/mɔnˈte/), reflects a disyllabic stress pattern that contributes to a sonorous yet precise phonetic profile, evoking connotations of strength and stability. The name’s modest but enduring presence in the United States is evidenced by Social Security data, which documents annual occurrences ranging from five to thirty-one since the late 1970s and ranking positions between #673 and #929; in 2024, eighteen newborn males received this name, placing Montae at #906 among male appellations. Such statistical consistency underscores Montae’s capacity to balance individuality and tradition, appealing to parents who seek a name that marries etymological gravitas with contemporary distinctiveness.
