Montero Origin and Meaning

The name Montero is a boy's name meaning "mountain hunter".

A Spanish occupational surname with the international flair of Mateo and the charm of Monty, Montero was originally given to those who worked as assistants and beaters for hunting parties in the mountains.

Notably borne by rapper-singer-songwriter Montero Hill, "Lil Nas X", and used as the name of his debut studio album, the music artist was named for the Mitsubishi Montero, meaning this name also fits in to the trend of brand names like Armani and car names like Bentley.
