Monoszló (also Monozlo) was the name of a Slavonian-origin gens (Latin for "clan"; nemzetség in Hungarian) in the Kingdom of Hungary, several prominent secular dignitaries came from this kindred.
The unidentified ancestor of the kindred received the estate of Monoszló (today Podravska Moslavina, Croatia) in Križevci County in Slavonia from Béla III of Hungary. There he also granted the right of marturina, a type of tax in Croatia which was collected in the then highly valued marten skins. As János Karácsonyi wrote, he had four children because Monoszló was divided into four parts in 1231 according to a property contract. One of them was Macarius, who served as ispán (head) of Szolnok County from 1192 to 1193. By 1196, he owned Szond, Bács County (today Sonta, Serbia) and married a daughter of a wealthy burgher, Peter from Virovitica.
