Monica

Monica is a classic Latin name, often translated as 'advisor'. With a storied history dating back to early Christianity, Saint Monica, the mother of Saint Augustine, is one of its most notable historical bearers. The name saw a resurgence in the 1970s and 1980s, partly due to the popularity of cultural icons like Monica Vitti and Monica Geller from the television series 'Friends'. It has a timeless feel, often seen as elegant yet approachable. Mon, Moni, and Nica are endearing nicknames.
