The montero Surname
montero Name Meaning and History
Spanish: occupational name for a beater or other assistant at a
hunt, from an agent derivative of monte, which, as well as
meaning ‘mountain’, ‘hill’, could be used in the transferred sense of
a game forest on wooded upland. The occupational term was itself also
used as a title for any of various palace functionaries, and some
cases of the surname may derive from this.
