The correct spelling is "Monterey Jack Cheese" originally "Jack's Cheese", so named after the businessman who first marketed it (David Jacks) in Monterey, California.

Monterrey (with two r's) is a city in Mexico, however, this city has no association with the cheese in question.

I have seen Queso Manchego marketed by Mexican cheese makers as "Monterrey" or "Monterey" cheese (no "Jack"), but I think this is more for marketing purposes for brand recognition by non-Spanish speakers.
