Etymology
Anglicized from en ga - and en gd Muadhnait, from en mga múad noble. In northern Europe, where the name is much more popular, Mona is interpreted as a diminutive of en Monica or, rarely, of en Ramona, and sometimes associated with the title of da Vinci's painting Mona (=madonna) Lisa.
The Arabic and Persian name ar مُنىٰ is sometimes Romanised as Mona.
