The roots of the distinguished German surname Munich lie in the region of the Rhineland. The name is derived from the Low German words "Münk" or "Mönk," meaning "monk." Munich was probably first used as a surname by a former member of a monastery, who passed the name down to his descendants.

The first known bearer of the name was the farmer Albrecht Münch, who lived at the southern edge of the Rhineland in 1204.
