Montserrath is Catalan in Origin.

Montserrath is a Spanish-language variant of the Catalan name Montserrat, taken from the famed mountain and Benedictine sanctuary near Barcelona. The name derives from Catalan mont “mountain” + serrat “saw-shaped, serrated,” ultimately from Latin mons and serra, yielding the meaning “serrated mountain.” Through devotion to Our Lady of Montserrat (La Moreneta), a venerated Black Madonna, the name has long been used for girls in Catalonia and spread throughout the Spanish-speaking world; the feast day is April 27.

The -h ending in Montserrath reflects modern Latin American spellings, especially in Mexico and among U.S. Hispanic communities; related forms include Montserrat and Monserrat, with affectionate diminutives Montse, Monse, and Monsi. Usage rose in the late 20th and early 21st centuries via media and migration, while retaining strong cultural ties to Catalan heritage. The Caribbean island of Montserrat shares the same etymology but does not determine the given name’s origin.
