Monchah is in Origin.

Monchah is a rare, Hebrew-influenced given name tied to the Semitic root n-w-ḥ (nuach), “to rest, settle.” It aligns most closely with Hebrew Menuchah/Menuhah, “rest, tranquility,” and with the masculine Manoach/Manoah (Samson’s father), all sharing the sense of repose and peaceful dwelling. The ch in Monchah represents the guttural kh/ḥ sound (as in Bach). As a given name, it conveys calm, comfort, and a hope for stability or sanctuary.

While scarcely attested in older records, Monchah appears in modern Jewish diaspora usage as a creative spelling, typically feminine by analogy with Menucha. Notable precedent for the root appears in the revered name Menucha (e.g., Rebbetzin Menucha Rochel Slonim, 1798–1888). Variants and related forms include Menucha, Menuchah, Menuhah, Menukha, Menocha, Minucha; Manoach, Manoah; and the cognate Noach/Noah. Sometimes spelled Moncha. Not to be confused with Mincha (afternoon prayer).
