Monteze is in Origin.

A modern given name with Iberian roots, Monteze is most plausibly an elaboration of the surname Montez/Montes, ultimately from Latin mons, montis "mountain." The added -e softens the ending and yields pronunciations such as mon-TEEZ or mon-TEH-zay. In Hispanic and Lusophone onomastics, Montez/Montes denoted someone who lived among hills; in the Americas, Montez also arose through association with Montezuma, the Spanish rendering of the Nahuatl name Moctezuma.

As a first name, Monteze is rare and chiefly found in late-20th- and early-21st-century U.S. records, sometimes unisex but more often masculine, with use notable in African-American communities favoring inventive spellings. Variants and related forms include Montez, Monté, Montee, Montes (surname), and the nickname Monty; cognates by meaning include Italian Monti and French Mont. The core meaning centers on "mountains," "from the hills," or "dweller of the highlands," conveying notions of resilience and elevation.
