Monty
A boys’ name of Old English origin, meaning mountain; a diminutive of Montgomery.
Monty by the numbers
In 2025, 169 babies in England and Wales were named Monty. In the US, 36 were, though that figure is from 2017, the most recent full year we hold.
For the size of the two countries, it is given far more often in England and Wales than in the US.
Its American peak was 540 babies in 1961, so it is a 1960s name that has since fallen a long way.
