history of a name: Muntrandy
by Charlene Groves (guest)

The sister of an ancestress of mine was named Muntrandy Phelps according to the will of her father, witnessed 1818, in the Albemarle Sound region of North Carolina. I have never heard of such a name, but it sounds, maybe, Medieval ... The family would have been of English extraction, probably in the general area since the 1660's.
Do you have any thoughts on this?

While I couldn't locate any info on the name "Muntrandy", I do know that the name "Mundy" was often given in the Middle Ages to children born on a Monday.Dunno if that's any help, but perhaps "Muntrandy" may be an extension of "Mundy"?-- Nanaea

Perhaps "horny on Monday"? : )

More likely, "Horny while assuming a dominant position" (Randy M'unt).-- Nanaea

I've looked on a couple of different name sites and I can't find anything on the name Muntrandy. It does sound rather Medieval, though. Perhaps it is an anagram or a combination of two or more family names. It's just a guess. Does anyone else have any ideas?
