Montserrat (Eastern Calatan: [munsəˈrat]), or Maria Montserrat, after the Virgin of Montserrat, is a popular name for girls in Catalonia and several other parts of Catalan-speaking areas.
It was the second most common given name for women in Catalonia in 2014, according to the Catalan Statistics Institute.
[1] The name is traditionally abbreviated to Montse, Serrat, Rat, Rateta, Tat or Tóna, and more recently, due to foreign influence, also to Monse.
[2][3][4][5] The name day for Montserrat is celebrated on April 27.
Sometimes this name appears in the Spanish-speaking world as a given name as is, or sometimes translated as Montserrate or Monserrate (where the final "e" is pronounced /e̞/).
