Not sure if related but “mono” = “monkey” is also a kinda popular nickname for goalkeepers. I would say gorilla is a better version of the nickname

Some examples

Navarro Montoya = https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carlos_Navarro_Montoya

Burgos = https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Germ%C3%A1n_Burgos

Monetti = https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fernando_Monetti

Sanchez = https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diego_S%C3%A1nchez_(footballer,_born_1987)

Martinez = https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ramiro_Mart%C3%ADnez_(footballer)

(some of them you might have to open spanish version of wiki to see the nickname)
