Moniz

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Moniz is a surname in the Portuguese language, namely in Portugal and Brazil. It is believed to derive from a Gothic,[1][2] or Gascon[3] given names Munnius, Monio, Munino, Monnio, and Munnio used in the Iberian Peninsula in the Middle Ages. It is uncertain whether the Galician and Asturian 'Muñiz' or 'Muniz' surnames are in any way related with Moniz. The Portuguese variants of the medieval name were Munio, Monio and Moninho,[4] making Moniz (son of Moninho or Munio)[5][6] a patronymic surname. It may refer to:
