Lamonica

US Popularity Rank: 10367

Origin: Italian

Meaning: Monk

Lamonica is a feminine appellation that sprung to life as a last name in Italy. This lyrical choice stems from Monaco, an occupational title for a monk, and can feature a “Lo” instead of a “La.” Lamonica is also considered a blend of La and the personal name Monica, whose precise meaning remains somewhat of a mystery for now. Lamonica sings off the tongue as a name well-traveled and untethered by any one definition, so your little one can forge a meaning of their own.
