Meaning & origin
Montanna is a modern American name that first appeared on birth certificates in 1985, reflecting the growing trend of using place names as given names. Its popularity peaked in 1998, but it has been steadily falling since 1999, and it has never appeared in the U.S. top 1,000. The name is almost exclusively given to girls, and it is most often spelled with a double n, perhaps to soften the strong masculine association of the state name. Despite its decline, Montanna remains in sporadic use, with about 1 in every several hundred thousand girls receiving the name in recent years. The name has no recorded top states, indicating it is spread thinly across the country.
Montanna is a modern invented name, almost certainly derived from the American state name Montana. Montana comes from the Spanish word montaña, meaning 'mountain'. The name first appeared in U.S. birth records in 1985 and gained popularity during the 1990s, peaking in 1998. It follows a trend of place-inspired names, with the double-n spelling adding a feminine touch.
