About the name Monique
Monique belongs to the French tradition. Its roots are documented, even though its precise meaning is not recorded in the standard references — an honest gap we prefer to a confident guess. It travels in a few spellings: Monica.
In the United States, Monique first appears in Social Security records in 1909. It climbed to its best-ever rank of #93 in 1980, and in 2024 56 babies received the name — 78,735 in total since 1880. Those are the official counts, not estimates.
