Of the mountain
A modern American creation likely blending the French prefix 'De' (meaning 'of') with the Spanish word 'Monte' (meaning 'mountain'). It follows a pattern of rhythmic, inventive names common in African American naming traditions. The suffix '-ez' adds a stylish, phonetic flair similar to established surnames.
