The term monotonic has no special meaning in the context of filters; it is used in the same way as usually. The magnitude responses of Butterworth, Chebyshev type I, and Bessel filters decrease strictly monotonically in the stopbands, i.e., the stopband attenuation increases the further you're away from the band edge.
