Advisor or solitary
The name Monica is of uncertain origin, though it is most often associated with the Latin word 'monere', meaning to advise, or the Greek word 'monos', meaning alone or solitary. It gained historical prominence through Saint Monica, the mother of Saint Augustine, who was of North African (Berber) descent. In modern times, it is recognized as a steady classic with a friendly, approachable image.
