La Monte is Scottish in Origin.
La Monte is a rare masculine given name shaped by multiple streams of influence. Monte comes from Spanish and Italian monte, meaning “mountain” or “wooded highland,” while the related Scottish surname Lamont traces to Old Norse Logmaðr, “lawman” or “legal authority.” The prefixed element La can be read as a French definite article used stylistically or as a modern ornamental prefix, making La Monte a spaced or compounded form (LaMonte) that bridges Romance and Scots–Norse roots.
In the United States the name appears sporadically from the early 20th century, gaining modest visibility alongside Lamont and Monte in mid-century records, particularly within African American naming traditions that favor La-/Le- prefixed forms. Variants and related forms include LaMonte, Lamonte, LaMont, Lamont, Monte, and the nickname Monty. Depending on the chosen lineage, La Monte can signify “mountain; one from the heights” or “lawman; legal counselor,” offering both topographic and civic resonance.
La Monte is a genuine rarity. In all, it appears just 1 time, across 1 country.
