What is the meaning of the name Moni ?

The baby name Moni is a Unisex name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced /ˈmoʊni/ (US), /ˈməʊni/ (UK) — MOH-nee.

Moni is Bengali, Hebrew, Latin, Sanskrit in Origin.

Moni is a multicultural given name and nickname with several independent roots. In South Asia (Bengali, Assamese, and Urdu), it reflects Sanskrit mani “jewel, gem,” used as an affectionate unisex given name and endearment. In many European languages it appears as a short form of Monica/Monika (promoted by the fame of Saint Monica, mother of Augustine), and of Simone/Simona, thus carrying either the debated Monica etymology (sometimes linked to Latin monere “advise”) or the Hebrew sense of Simone/Simona from Shimon, “he has heard.”

Modern Hebrew and Israeli usage also employs Moni as a familiar name, especially for Shlomo/Solomon (“peace”) or Shimon. Variants and related forms include Móni (Hungarian), Monie, Monnie, Monny, and South Asian Mani; formal counterparts are Monica/Monika, Simone/Simona, Shlomo/Solomon, and Shimon/Simeon. As a given name, Moni is unisex, tending feminine in Europe and more evenly balanced in South Asia and Israel.
