Of the mountain
A modern American name likely derived from the French surname 'De Monte' or 'Du Mont', meaning 'from the mountain'. It may also be a creative blend of the prefix 'De-' with the name 'Mont' or 'Monte'. It rose in usage in the mid-20th century as a distinctive choice within the African American community.
