A quick check shows it's primary usage as an Irish/ English name... an Anglicized version of MUADHNAIT (pronounced: MOO-nat ) from the OLD Irish for MOON

http://www.behindthename.com/name/mona-1

Yet the etymology (word history) shows it to have possibly have come from Germanic / Russian for MOON
http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/mona

OR the Scandinavian shortened "Monika" (Adviser)

NOWHERE in my search for the HISTORY of the name does it suggest that the name means "NOBLE" or any such foolishness... Moon actually suggests Mense or Messe

The Monna Lisa (Madonna Lisa) is the correct usage, Mona Lisa is the Anglicized version, because in fact: in the whole north-east of Italy, including Venice, "mona" is a rather obscene word denoting female pudenda,

yes

Yes. It is an Irish-Gaelic name meaning pure and firm.


Orla C
Clearly it's not exclusively Irish. It's not a name I would call a child.


♥♥The Queen Has Spoken♥♥
Yes it is of Gaelic origin and means noble aristocrat

The girl's name Mona m(o)-na is pronounced MOH-nah. It is of Irish and Gaelic origin, and its meaning is "noble, aristocratic". Also an Italian short form of Madonna. The "Mona Lisa", a portrait painted by Leonardo da Vinci, has inspired name blends. The name spread from Ireland in the mid 19th century.

Mona is an Italian name, as in Mona Lisa. It probably was spread to Ireland through Roman Catholic missionaries.

Deffinately Italian. Leonardo Da Vinci's most famous work "Mona Lisa" did not come from Ireland.
