Mongia is in Origin.

Mongia is a feminine Maghrebi Arabic given name derived from the Arabic منجية (munjiyya/munjiyah), the feminine form of منجي (munjī, “savior, deliverer”), from the verb najā/najjā (“to save, rescue”). In North African Latinization the vowel is often written o, hence Mongia; standardized transliterations include Munjia and Munjiyya. The name conveys the sense of “one who brings salvation” and, by extension, “delivered” or “kept safe”.

Usage is strongest in Tunisia and neighboring parts of the Maghreb, where it rose in the 20th century and remains familiar, though now less common among younger generations. Variants include Mongia, Monjia, Mounjia, Munjia, and Munjiyya; related feminine names from the same semantic field are Najiya and Najat. The masculine counterpart is Monji/Mongi (Munji, Mounji). Mongia also appears as a family name in North African diasporic communities, reflecting the given name’s transmission across generations.
