Montel is a masculine name with French, Latin, and German connections. Coming from the French Monte and the Latin word montis, it translates to “pointed hill” or “mountain.” This can always encourage baby to look to high peaks as inspiration for how far they can go. Montel may also come from the Germanic word munt, meaning “protection,” or the German mantel, meaning “cloak.” For a name that acts like a protective shield for baby, Montel can do the job.
