Montagne is French in Origin.

Montagne is a French word and surname meaning "mountain", from Old French montagne, ultimately Latin montanea (from mons, montis, "mountain"). As a topographic byname it denoted someone who lived near or came from mountainous terrain; the sense of solidity and elevation gives it a strong, nature-rooted appeal.

Used overwhelmingly as a surname in France and francophone regions, Montagne only rarely appears as a given name, and when it does it reads unisex and stylishly French. The literary association often cited is with the Renaissance essayist Michel de Montaigne (spelled with an i), whose surname reflects a related toponym. Close cognates and variants include Montaigne (Fr.), Montagna (It.), Montaña and Montana (Sp./En.), and Montanha (Pt.); Monty can serve as an informal nickname. Parents drawn to rugged, place-inspired choices like Ridge or Summit may find Montagne a distinctive alternative, whether as a first or middle name.
