Monroe Origin and Meaning
The name Monroe is a boy's name of Scottish origin meaning "mouth of the Roe river".
Monroe is a presidential surname which feels fresher than Jackson, Lincoln and Taylor. Marilyn Monroe is a famous female namesake, but her smart Scottish surname feels equally usable for either sex. Plus, we think old man nickname Moe would sound both cool and adorable on a baby boy today!
