    • My parents named me Monica after St. Monica who is an African Saint and the mother of St. Augustine. My maternal grandfather’s church Parish as a child was St. Monica in New Orleans, LA. Her story was shared with my mom and they instantly made the decision to name me Monica. So great to see your comment majority of people are not aware of it’s orgin and St. Monica.
