History
Etymology tree Latin Monēta Latin monēta Old French moneie Old French monoie Anglo-Norman muneiebor. Middle English moneye English money From Middle English moneye, moneie, money, borrowed from Anglo-Norman muneie (“money”), from Latin monēta (“money, a place for coining money, coin, mint”), from the name of the temple of Juno Moneta in Rome, where a mint was. In this sense, displaced native Old English feoh, whence English fee. Doublet of mint, ultimately from the same Latin word but through Germanic and Old English, and of manat, through Russian and Azerbaijani or Turkmen.
* As an English surname, from the noun money. Compare Minter, Monier. * As an Irish surname, variant of Mooney. * As a French surname, variant of Monnet, itself a variant of Monet.
