Monmouths

Monmouths is a plural term used to refer to people associated with places named Monmouth. Because several towns bear the name, Monmouths can denote residents of Monmouth, Wales; Monmouth, New Jersey; or other localities with the same toponym. In formal writing, demonyms are usually formed directly from the place name, so residents are typically described as Monmouth residents or by locality names rather than as “Monmouths.”
