Just found this explanation of the name Monika.
Anglicised form of the Gaelic name Muadhnait, a diminutive form of muadh (noble); hence, the meaning "little noble one". It has sometimes been taken as connected with Greek monos (single, only) or chosen with reference to Leonardo Da Vinci's Mona Lisa. In the case of the painting, "Mona" was a common Italian contraction of "madonna," meaning "my lady." Mona is also a variant of the Arabic name Muna, meaning "wish" or "desire". Mona is a short form of the Spanish name Ramona, and of the Scandinavian Monika

Monica (different spelling) - Possibly derived from the Latin 'to advise'. St Monica was the mother of St Augustine and a model mother.
