Meaning & Origin
A female given name from French equivalent to Monica.
Monique is a girl's and boy's baby name of French origin, the French form of Monica, possibly from the Latin or Berber traditions, with meanings proposed as 'advisor' or 'unique.' It was widely used in France and Francophone Africa before arriving in the United States.
Monique was most popular in the U.S. from the 1960s through the 1980s, beloved for its Francophone elegance and sophisticated sound. It projects worldliness and self-assurance in a wonderfully compact three syllables.
