What is the meaning of the name Monty ?

The baby name Monty is a Male name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced /ˈmɒnti/ (MON-tee).

Monty is English, French in Origin.

Monty is an affable diminutive of the medieval surnames Montgomery and Montague, both adopted as given names in English. Montgomery combines Old French mont “hill, mountain” with the Germanic personal name Gomeric (guma “man” + ric “power, rule”), yielding the sense “Gomeric’s mountain” or “mountain of the powerful man.” Montague stems from Old French mont aigu, “sharp/pointed hill,” from Latin mons and acutus. As an independent name, Monty keeps the breezy, topographic feel of “from the hill” or simply “mountain.”

In Britain the nickname circulated from the late 19th century and gained wide familiarity via Field Marshal Bernard “Monty” Montgomery in World War II; it also echoes in popular culture (e.g., Monty Hall, “the Full Monty”). Usage today leans informal-chic in the UK, rarer in the US. Variants and related forms include Monte, Monti, Montie, and the longer bases Montgomery and Montague.
