Montres is in Origin.

Montres is a modern American given name, often found in African-American naming traditions, that blends the productive Mont- element (seen in Monte, Montel, Montrell) with a Romance-flavored -res/-rez ending. Its sound is shaped by French montrer “to show,” whose second-person form tu montres means “you show,” and by montres, the French plural for “watches,” inviting associations with display, time, and polish. Folk links to the Scottish place-name Montrose or to the Spanish surname ending -ez also color its etymology.

Usage appears sporadically in late 20th- and early 21st-century U.S. records, never widespread but familiar alongside variants Montrez and Montress. Related forms include Montrell, Montez, and the emphatic spelling Montrezl; nicknames Tre/Trez and Monty are common. Parents often read Montres as suggesting “one who shows the way,” “watchful,” or “of the mountain,” capturing both sleek urban flair and a sturdy, elevated image.
