A Dictionary of English and Welsh Surnames (1896) by Charles Wareing Endell Bardsley

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.

Patronymica Britannica (1860) by Mark Antony Lower

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.
