Detailed Slovak etymology analysis

Monique je francúzska podoba neskorolatinského mena Monica. Jeho najstarší pôvod nie je spoľahlivo objasnený; pravdepodobne súvisí so severoafrickým, berberským alebo púnskym jazykovým prostredím. Spojenia s latinským monere „napomínať, radiť“ a gréckym monos „jediný“ sú neskoršie etymologické výklady.
