Introduced by the English, Monica is an ancient name of uncertain etymology. The name was borne by the mother of St. Augustine, who was born in Nu-midia, an ancient country in northern Africa. Thus, the name might be of African origin. However, Monica is said to have been a citizen of Carthage, a city founded by the Phoenicians, so her name might be of Phoenician origin. Alternatively, some believe it to be from the Latin moneo (to advise). Moncha is the Gaelic form |
