Prémontré (French pronunciation: [pʁemɔ̃tʁe]) is a commune in the Aisne department in Hauts-de-France in northern France.

The name of the locality is attested in the forms Premonstratum (1120), Pratum-Monstratum (1140), Prémonstré (1219), Prémoustré (1274), Premonstret (1292), and Presmoustré (1588).

[3] Pratum monstratum ("pre-discovered, uncovered"), or Prémonstré was a site offered in the twelfth century to Norbert of Xanten to found his community.

According to legends as well as Ernest Nègre, the toponym comes from the adjective prémontré in langue d'oïl "(place) shown in advance".

(Saint Norbert said that the location of the abbey had been designated to him by God[4], and this name was to serve as the name of the new religious order he founded there[5]).
