Montagu

Montagu originated from old French and is traditionally given to boys. The meaning of Montagu is 'pointy hill', 'steep mountain', or 'pointy mountain'. Montagu is more commonly used as a surname than as a first name. Montagu originated from two Old French words: 'mont', meaning 'hill', and 'agu', meaning 'pointed'. It is believed Montagu is a habitational name derived from Montaigu Le Bois or Montaigu. It is also believed that the name Montagu first appeared in Somerset, where Drogo de Montacuto owned lands under Robert, the Earl of Morton. He accompanied the conqueror, William, on the journey to conquer England. The Montagu family is believed to be descended from Simon de Montacute, who was a great warrior in the reign of Edward I. Their home, the Parish of Montacute, Somerset, was formerly called Logaresburch and was later changed to Parish of Montacute because William, the Earl of Morton, built a Castle on the pointy top of a hill. The earlier name Montacute has ever since developed many variants, like Montagu. One of the earliest notables with the name Montagu is James Montagu, the Bishop of Bath. The Montagu families migrated, and from 1840 to 1920, they were found in the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, and Scotland. In the United States, Montagu families were first recorded in 1840 in Virginia, where 26 Montagu families resided.
