Montmorency

A Dictionary of First Names | 2006 | | Copyright

Montmorency ♂ Transferred use of the surname, originally a Norman baronial name from a place in Seine-et-Oise. The place name is derived from Old French mont ‘hill’ + the Gallo-Roman personal name Maurentius. The given name enjoyed a brief vogue in the 19th century, but is now regarded as affected and so hardly ever used.
