Adonna is Italian, Latin in Origin.
Adonna is a rare feminine name, most plausibly built on Italian donna “lady,” ultimately from Latin domina “mistress, lady of the house.” Its initial A- may reflect analogy to Madonna (“my lady”) or represent a simple augmenting prefix in modern English name coinages. Taken this way, Adonna carries the meaning “lady” or “my lady,” with a courtly, honorific tone.
The name surfaces in 20th‑century American records as a creative alternative to Donna, LaDonna, and Madonna, and it has not been common in any country. Variant and related forms include Adona, Adonia, Adonya, Donna, LaDonna, and Madonna; short forms such as Addie or Donnie sometimes occur. Some sources also note a secondary, less likely association with Semitic adon “lord” (familiar from Adonis/Adonia), but contemporary usage of Adonna overwhelmingly aligns with the Italian “lady” lineage.
