== History ==
''Monica'' is an ancient name of North African origin (now Algeria) whose etymology is unknown. The earliest reference to the name is found in ancient Numidian inscriptions. The name might include a reference to the ancient Libyan god ''Mon''. Saint Augustine's mother was named ''Monica'', and she was born in Numidia, North Africa, although she also was a citizen of Carthage, hence the possibility it may be of Punic origin. It has also been associated with the Greek word ''monos'', meaning "alone". Monica is also a name in Latin, deriving from the verb monere, meaning 'to advise.'
Saint Monica's feast day is 27 August, and Monica is the patron saint of married women.
One of the early occurrences of the name in literature is the character Monica Thorne in the 1858 novel ''Doctor Thorne'' by Anthony Trollope.〔
