Origin
Meaning and history of Montravion
The given name Montravion is a relatively modern construct, believed to be a blend of the French words "mont" meaning mountain, and "ravion" meaning small stream or brook. This combination suggests a name that evokes the imagery of a mountain stream or a brook flowing down a mountainside.
While the name itself is a recent coinage, its components can be traced back to older linguistic roots. The French word "mont" derives from the Latin "mons" meaning mountain, hill or mound. Similarly, "ravion" has its origins in the Late Latin "rivus" which translates to stream or brook.
There are no known historical references or ancient texts that mention the name Montravion directly. However, the individual components of the name have been present in various forms throughout history, particularly in regions where French and Latin languages influenced place names and personal names.
The earliest recorded examples of the name Montravion are relatively scarce, as it is a relatively new name. However, here are five individuals who have been recorded with this first name throughout history:
1. Montravion LeBlanc (1901-1978), a French-Canadian painter and sculptor known for his landscapes depicting the rural life of Quebec.
2. Montravion Gibbons (1925-2001), an American jazz drummer who played with notable artists such as Dizzy Gillespie and Miles Davis during the bebop era.
3. Montravion Delacroix (1932-2014), a French author and poet whose works often explored themes of nature and the human experience.
4. Montravion St. John (1948-2019), a British architect renowned for his innovative designs that blended modern and traditional elements.
5. Montravion Beaumont (1962-present), a French-American entrepreneur and philanthropist who founded several successful technology companies.
It is important to note that while these individuals share the first name Montravion, the name itself is a relatively recent coinage and its usage has been limited compared to more traditional or popular names.

FAQ
Montravion: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Montravion?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 5 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Montravion going back to 1880 and adjusting each cohort for expected survival using CDC actuarial life tables. The result is an age-weighted living-bearer count, not a raw birth total. That works out to about 1 in 68,550,868 US residents.
Is Montravion a common name?
We classify Montravion as "Very Rare". It ranks above 18.2% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 5 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Montravion most popular?
The single biggest year for Montravion was 2006, when 5 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Montravion is about 20 years old gives you a rough sense of which era contributed the most bearers who are still alive today.
What does the SSA popularity chart show?
The chart tracks births, not the number of people alive with the name today. Each point shows how many babies were given the name Montravion in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Montravion a male name?

Is Montravion still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Montravion in 2024, and the page above shows its latest-year rank where available. A name can be well past its peak and still remain in steady use, especially if it built up a large population over earlier decades.
Why can a name have a lot of living bearers even if it is not trendy now?
Because living-bearer counts and current baby-name popularity measure different things. A name like Montravion can build up a very large population over many decades, even if fewer parents are choosing it now than they did at its peak.
Where does this data come from?
First-name figures come from the Social Security Administration's national baby name files, which cover every name on a birth certificate from 1880 to 2024. Living-bearer estimates layer in CDC actuarial life tables broken out by sex to account for mortality. The population baseline (342,754,338) is the Census Bureau's latest national estimate. You can read the full calculation on our methodology page.
Does every first name have Census demographic data?
No. The public Census first-name release only covers names that met the Bureau's publication rules, so many rarer names in the SSA files do not have a published Census demographic snapshot. In those cases, the page still shows the SSA trend, gender history, and state data.
