The name "Moneto" refers to a supreme being or deity in Shawnee mythology, often described as the creator or Great Spirit who created the universe and the Shawnee people. Moneto is considered a god who took no human form and is associated with the spiritual origin of the Shawnee. Sometimes similar names like Mishe Moneto or Mise Manito are used to refer to the Great Spirit or Creator in Shawnee belief. Separately, in Roman mythology, "Moneta" is a title given to two goddesses—one associated with memory (linked to Greek Mnemosyne) and the other an epithet of Juno, known as Juno Moneta. The latter is historically significant as the protectress of funds, with the Roman temple of Juno Moneta being the site where money was coined, giving rise to words like "money" and "mint." To clarify, "Moneto" in the context of Shawnee mythology is a supreme creator figure, while "Moneta" in Roman context refers to goddesses linked to memory and money.
