Dionna is Greek in Origin.

Dionna is a modern English feminine given name built on the Greek Dion-/Dio- stem. It is linked to Dion and Dionne, ultimately tracing to Dionysios and to Dione, the Titaness whose name derives from dios, "of Zeus." As such, Dionna carries senses like "belonging to Dionysus," "divine," or "of Zeus," with mythic overtones from classical Greek tradition.

Its use in the United States grew in the late 20th century, especially in the 1970s to 1990s, alongside related forms and the visibility of Dionne as a surname in popular culture, while remaining uncommon elsewhere. Variants and cognates include Diona, Dione, Dionne, Deonna/Deona, Deyonna, and D'Onna; masculine counterparts are Dion and Dennis (from Dionysios). Common short forms are Dee, Di, and Ona. Though phonetically close to Latin Diana, Dionna's etymology is Greek, and the names are distinct.
