Editor’s reflection
'Pointed hill' in Norman French — a place name, a play, and no scriptural root.
Montague is Norman French, from mont aigu, 'sharp' or 'pointed hill.' It came to England as a place-derived surname with the Conquest, attached to families holding land at Montaigu in Normandy, and only much later saw occasional use as a first name.
Its fame in English is literary and negative — the feuding house in Romeo and Juliet — which is why it carries an air of aristocratic weight and slight melodrama. Later the Montagu family produced dukes, admirals and, through Lady Mary Wortley Montagu, the letters that introduced smallpox inoculation to Britain.
There is no biblical Montague, and no Hebrew or Greek behind it. Where it is listed as a Christian name, that is a reference to European Christian families who used it, not to Scripture. Mountains are of course everywhere in the KJV — Sinai, Carmel, Zion, Tabor, the mount of Olives — and if the hill image is the appeal, Zion and Tabor are actual scriptural place names that work as given names.
In use Montague is long, formal and distinctly English, with Monty as the inevitable short form. It suits families who want a name with obvious historical texture and are happy for the reference to be literary rather than biblical.
“I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help.”
