Eifiona is Welsh in Origin.
Eifiona is a modern Welsh feminine given name, formed by adding the feminine -a to Eifion, a personal and place-name linked to Eifionydd, the historic district of Gwynedd on the Llyn Peninsula. As a toponymic name it conveys the sense of "woman from/associated with Eifionydd," anchoring it in north-western Welsh heritage. Despite the phonetic resemblance, it is unrelated to Fiona.
The name is rare in earlier records and surfaces chiefly in the 20th century, coinciding with the Welsh cultural revival and the visibility of the poet Eifion Wyn, which helped familiarise Eifion as a given name and encouraged a feminine counterpart. Usage remains uncommon outside Wales but recognizable within Welsh-speaking communities. Variants and related forms include the masculine Eifion and the occasional spelling Eifionna (influenced by Fiona); short forms such as Eifi may appear colloquially. The single f reflects Welsh orthography, giving the approximate pronunciation eye-VYON-ah.
Eifiona doesn't appear in any of the birth registries or name datasets we track. That usually points to a very rare, regional, or newly coined name. However you look at it, very few people share it.
