Solitary or to advise
While most famously associated with the French Impressionist painter Claude Monet, the name likely derives from the Latin 'monere', meaning to advise, or 'monachus', meaning monk or solitary. It has evolved into a sophisticated surname-turned-given name in English-speaking countries.
