History & Origin

Montrey is best read as a coined American name, likely combining a Mon- opening, as in Montrell or Montgomery, with Trey, a familiar name element sometimes meaning 'the third.' It has no separate documented etymology.

Montrey was never common, given to only about eighteen boys a year at its peak around 1993, with scattered use recorded into the 2020s. It reads today as a distinctive, modern American name.

Did you know? Montrey shares its shape with Monterey, the California city, though the name itself is better explained as an American coinage built from Mon- plus Trey rather than a place-name borrowing.
