About the name Montgomery

Montgomery is four syllables of Norman aristocracy, and almost everyone who receives it becomes a Monty within a fortnight. A field marshal and a famously intense 1950s actor gave it two very different faces, neither of which has translated into modern popularity.

Montgomery is a boy name of Norman French origin, pronounced mont-GUM-ur-ee. On the NameRarity scale it scores 94 out of 100, which places it in the ultra rare band — fewer than 1 in 10,000 people carry this name. You will almost never meet another. Its strongest period was the 1940s.
