The word "Monna" is not of English origin. It is actually an Italian word, often used as an informal way to address a woman or a young lady, like "miss" or "ma'am" in English. The etymology of "Monna" can be traced back to the Italian word "Madonna", which literally means "my lady" or "my Madonna". "Madonna" is derived from the Latin phrase "mea domina", which has a similar meaning. Over time, "Madonna" evolved into "Monna" in Italian, becoming a colloquial term of respect when addressing a woman.
