From the Ottoman period, Mamonia was a mixed village with a Greek Cypriot majority. As may be seen from the chart above, in the Ottoman census of 1831, Christians (Greek Cypriots) constituted almost 68% of the population. This ratio decreased to 61% in 1891, almost fifteen years after the British arrival, but by 1946 the Greek Cypriot portion of the population increased again, to 95%, and only eight Turkish Cypriots remained in the village. In 1960, there were no Turkish Cypriots residing in the village.
Displacement:
For different reasons many of the Turkish Cypriots left the village during the World War II years. There were only 8 Turkish Cypriots living in the village in 1946, a drop from 29 in 1931. According to some Turkish sources, the Turkish Cypriots of the village fled the village in 1958 due to intercommunal enmity, and sought refuge in nearby Turkish Cypriot villages.
Current Inhabitants:
Currently Mamonia is occupied only by its original Greek Cypriot inhabitants, although many of the youth have migrated to urban areas in recent years. According to the 2001 census, there were only 40 persons living in the village, a drop from 107 in 1976.
