About Mona
Mona had more than a moment in the sun, peaking in 1950 at Number 230 but falling off the Top 1000 completely in the late 1980s. Its similarity to the word "moaner" undercuts the appeal of its simplicity. In one recent year, fewer than 100 baby girls received the name, and we don't see it reviving any time soon.
Mona is also given to boys.
Pronounced MO-nuh.
As of October 2026, Mona ranked #2806 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #230 in 1950, Nameberry popularity #866.
