Mundey is English, Irish in Origin.
Mundey is a rare English given name taken from the surname, itself a variant of Munday/Monday. The surname goes back to Middle English forms of Monday, from Old English Monandæg, literally "Moon's day," ultimately aligned with Latin dies Lunae. As a baby name, Mundey carries the luminous, cyclical associations of the moon and the idea of a day set apart, suggesting intuition, renewal, and a gentle but steady rhythm.
In medieval England, Monday/Munday appeared as a byname for people born on a Monday or linked to Monday markets and obligations. Over time it settled as a family name with many spellings. Variants and cognates include Monday, Munday, Mundy, Mundie, Mondey, and Mundaye; Mundey is a rarer branch seen in Britain and Australia. Occasionally reinterpreted via Germanic mund "protection" (as in Edmund), the accepted origin remains the weekday.
