History & Origin
Monea reads as a coined name rather than an inherited one, echoing the Mon- of Monique and the elegant surname Monet. The soft -ea ending gives it a refined, French-tinged feel. It appears in United States records from the late 1970s and reached a quiet high in the early 1990s, given to only a couple dozen girls a year.
A Monea from that early-1990s high is now in her thirties. It has not caught on widely, but its smooth, chic sound keeps it at home among the many Mon- names parents still admire.
