Montrall is English in Origin.

Montrall is a modern American given name, most plausibly a variant spelling of Montrell and Montrail, shaped by the French toponym Montreal (“Mount Royal”). The root mont comes from French mont “mountain,” and the second element reflects royal, yielding the meaning “royal mountain.” Related Mont- names (Montel, Montell) echo the same French mont element blended with contemporary English phonetics.

Usage is rare: the name appears in U.S. records from the late 20th century and remains uncommon. Adoption has been strongest in African-American communities, where creative place-name and surname adaptations and -rell endings flourished. Attested variants include Montrell, Montrail, and Montrel; related forms are Montel/Montell and the place name Montreal. Common nicknames are Monty and Trell. As a given name, Montrall has no medieval or classical pedigree; its appeal lies in a modern sound anchored by a clear, dignified meaning and subtle Francophone flair.
