A female given name of Irish origin meaning 'noble' or 'aristocratic'. Also refers to a type of guenon monkey found in Africa.
From Irish Muadhnait, derived from muadh meaning 'noble'. As a monkey name, it comes from Arabic maimun. The name gained popularity through Leonardo da Vinci's famous painting 'Mona Lisa'.
The 'Mona' in Mona Lisa is actually a title meaning 'Lady' (from Italian madonna), making the painting's name essentially 'Lady Lisa'. This has led to centuries of speculation about the mysterious woman's true identity and social status.
