Mona
Featured in baby name books
Mona is an Irish Gaelic name meaning “noble” or “aristocratic.” Mona is the name of Leonardo da Vinci’s famous subject, properly Monna Lisa, and is sometimes a diminutive of Monica; Saint Muadhnait was an early Irish bearer. Mona also has a Greek sense, “singular” or “solitary,” and an Arabic one, “wish.” Mona sounds more seductive than perky and is unlikely to be misspelled.
