The unique and distinctive name Montay is of African origin, specifically from the Igbo tribe of Nigeria. It means 'Let's follow' in the Igbo language. This name is often given to encourage children to be leaders or guides within their families or communities.
The name Montay experienced notable popularity fluctuations over the years, with significant peaks occurring twice - first between 1988 and 1992 (with a high of 13 births in both 1988 and 1992), then again from 1997 to 2004 (ranging from 12 to 15 births annually). However, the name's usage has since declined, with fewer than 8 births per year occurring consistently since 2006. Overall, Montay was given to a total of 294 newborns across all recorded years.
