Meaning & History

(male) Transferred use of the Scottish surname, usually spelled Munro. The ancestors of the Scottish Munros are said to have originally come from Ireland, apparently from a settlement by the River Roe in County Derry; their name is therefore supposed to be derived from Gaelic bun Rotha ‘mouth of the Roe’. In the United States the popularity of the given name may have been influenced by the fame of James Monroe (1758–1831), fifth president of the United States and propounder (in 1823) of the Monroe Doctrine, asserting that European powers should not seek to colonize in North or South America and that the United States would not intervene in European affairs.

Variants: Monro, Munro(e).
