I have seen two suggestions: (a) that it comes from the Greek word "monos" meaning "alone" and (b) (less likely) that it comes from the Latin verb monere, to warn! The most famous Monica was the wife of Patricius, a high ranking official in the then important town of Thagaste, in Numidia, North Africa in the 4th century AD. She became celebrated as the mother of St Augustine.

Latin meaning advisor.
Traits: Most people describe Monica as a beautiful woman who is educated, fun-loving, and friendly. Some, though, think of Monica as spoiled and snobby.
Famous people with this name: TV characters Monica (Friends) Geller, Monica (General Hospital) Quartermaine; tennis's Monica Seles; St. Monica, mother of St. Augustine; White House sex-scandal tabloid sensation Monica Lewinsky
