Montra is the short version of the Pahli word "Mahantra" meaning a protection, its origin from the Kurdish word "Pala" meaning to take refuge under.

This name dates back to the pre-Zoroastrian times (Medes era, 3700 years ago) in ancient Iran. This word belongs to the Avestan language from the old Indo-Iranian language group, which was used to write the Gathas in Kurdish Gwet, meaning "spoken" or "the spoken words". The term Montra, though rarely, is used as a girls name nowadays and should not be confused with the Indian word "Mantra", which is a religious or mystical syllable or poem, typically from the Sanskrit language.
