FWIW, Louis de Montfort was a Frenchman:
<
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Montfort Brothers of St. Gabriel?
French and Breton: habitational name from any of numerous places
called Montfort from Old French
mont `hill` (see Mont ) + fort `strong impregnable` (from Latin
fortis). This surname is by far most
common in Brittany.

Monforts in the UK said to be of Norman origin

French and Dutch origins seem in contradistinction:
French and Breton: variant of Monfort
Altered form of Dutch Montfoort: habitational name from Montfoort
in Utrecht. It is a cognate of 1
above (see Monfort ) and also its altered form (or perhaps vice
versa). English (of Norman origin):
very rare variant of Mountford a cognate of 1 above.

Does Dutch Montfoort bear any relation to French Montfort?
Why is the place you mention in Nederland spelled Montfort and not Montfoort?
