Montague

Montague is a name with a noble air, originating from the French term for 'pointed hill'. While it may sound familiar because of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, where it was used as a surname for one of the feuding families, it has never been widespread as a first name. This rarity gives it a distinct and sophisticated charm. Monty is the most common short form, lending a playful twist to its formal full version. Montague is ideal for those seeking an uncommon yet historically significant name.
