Montana

Montana is a feminine given name of English origin, derived from the name of the American state of Montana, which itself comes from the Spanish word montaña (mountain) or Latin montanus meaning "mountainous." The state's name was borrowed from the Spanish term for mountainous terrain, as the region's western half is dominated by the Rocky Mountains. As a given name, Montana gained popularity in the late 20th century, likely due to the rise of place names and the appeal of the rugged, natural imagery associated with the state.
