Meaning & History

This name can be used as 萌波 or 萌南 with 萌 (hou, kiza.shi, mebae, mo.eru) meaning "bud, sprout," 波 (ha, nami) meaning "billow, wave, ripple" and 南 (na, nan, minami, nami) meaning "south."
Examples of Monami with 3 kanji include 茂奈美, 望奈実 and 萌奈未 with 茂 (mo, shige.ru) meaning "be luxuriant, grow thick," 奈 (dai, na, nai, ikan, karanashi) meaning "wild apple," 望 (bou, mou, nozo.mu, mochi, mo) meaning "aspire, desire, expect, hope," 美 (bi, mi, utsuku.shii) meaning "beautiful, beauty," 実 (shitsu, jitsu, makotoni, mi, michi.ru, mino, mino.ru) meaning "fruit" and 未 (bi, mi, ima.da, hitsuji, ma.da) meaning "not yet."

The use of Monami may been attributed by the Japanese form (モナミ) of the French phrase 'mon amie' which means "my friend."
