(pronounced muh-NAH-nih-mehs)

From the Latin roots “mono” for one and “onyma” for name, you can probably offer a pretty good guess of what this word means. Yep, if you are mononymous, then you are well known enough to be referred to by only one name.

Example: Our favorite mononymous designer is the Irish-born Clodagh, the nomadic, multi-faceted creative pioneer who has put her stamp on everything from makeup packaging to million square foot hotels.
