Montague, of Latin origin, is an uncommon yet distinguished given name for boys. It translates to 'from Montaucon,' referring to a mountain spur. This name was popularized in English literature through Shakespeare's 'Romeo and Juliet,' where Lord Montague is the head of the Capulet family's rival clan. The use of Montague in this context has likely contributed to its enduring appeal, although it remains relatively rare today.
"The name Montague had periods of popularity with peaks in the late 1960s to early 1970s and again in the early 2020s. However, it has been relatively uncommon overall, with most years seeing fewer than 10 births."
