Montana

As a gender-neutral name, Montana traces back to Spanish, where it is understood to mean "Spanish/Latin montaña". It is not as common as it was in the 1990s, though it has not disappeared. Today, it is on the rarer side without being unusual in the registry. Few names stick around this long: it shows up across almost the entire twelve-decade span this registry covers.
