About Monte
Monte, pronounced with two syllables as brother Monty, is an old-fashioned nickname-name that's reclaiming a certain amount of dash and charm. It was recently chosen by actor Guy Pearce--which may signal a comeback.
Alternatively, it comes from the Spanish and Italian word for mountain and therefore has a direct nature link. Popular in Armenia, it could work as an alternative for Dante.
Monte is also given to girls.
Pronounced MAHN-tay.
As of October 2026, Monte ranked #10788 in US births in 2024 SSA, peaked at #1238 in 1892.
