(English) One who came from Monnaie (mint), in France.
Monnay, a place in Normandy, department of Orne. Hence the De Mony of the H.R. The Le Money of those records is probably blundered from Le Moyne, the Monk.
From Gael, monadh, a hill, mountain, moor, an extensive common. Among many other names compounded of monadh are Moneymush or Monymush, a parish of Scotland, co. Aberdeen; and Money-Gall and Moneymore, two towns of Ireland; one in Leinster, the other in Ulster. There is however Monnaie, a town of France, dep. Indre-et-Loire; and Lower gives Monnay, dep. Orne; and says, "Hence the De Mony of the H.R. The Le Money of those records is probably plundered from Le Moyne, the Monk." But see Moon.
From Monnay, Normandy (Lower). William de Monay, a benefactor to Bliburgh, Suffolk, before t. Henry H. (Mon. ii. 593). Robert de Monei held a fief from Bigot, Earl of Norfolk 1165 .(Lib. Niger).
From the French, Monnaye, Muny; personal name Mauny, Monnaie; location name in France.
Money: is a corruption of De Mauny. Sir Walter Manny or Mauny, afterwards Lord de Manny, and founder of the Charterhouse, was one of the ablest of the soldiers of fortune under Edward III. His father was Jean le Borgne, or the One-Eyed, Lord of Mauny, near Valenciennes, who was killed in a private quarrel in the English camp before La Reole, on the Garonne, in 1327. Walter came to England in the train of Queen Philippa, who made him one of her Esquires, and he was given the governorship of Merioneth, and the keepership of Harlech Castle. He married Margaret, daughter and heiress of Thomas of Brotherton, second son of Edward I., but his only son fell down a well and was drowned in his father’s lifetime. He had but one legitimate daughter, who married John Hastings, Earl of Pembroke; but he had two others that were illegitimate, of whom he cannot have been proud, as he gave them the names, the one of Maloisel (a bad bird) and the other of Malplesant (disagreeable). The English Moneys consequently cannot derive from Walter de Manny, but almost surely from some of his attendants, natives of Mauny, who followed him in war and were settled by him on his estates in England. He died in January, 1372.
