Reply to: what is the meaning of latorre and monee??? by LaTorre and Monee
One origin of "Monee" is as an Ottawa Indian version of the French name Marie. The Ottawas, living in the early 1800's around the US side of the Great Lakes, had no "r" sound in their language, so Marie => Monee (pronounced Mah-nee). The town of Monee, Illinois, south of Chicago, is named for a woman with this name and name origin.
