feona is Irish (Gaelic), Scottish in Origin.

Feona is a modern variant of Fiona, a Scottish Gaelic given name formed from the element fionn, meaning “white, fair, clear.” The Fiona family emerged in the 19th century amid a revival of interest in Gaelic culture; writers such as William Sharp (“Fiona Macleod”) helped bring it into wider circulation. From Britain it spread across the Anglophone world in the mid–20th century, with Feona appearing as an alternative spelling in registers and passports to reflect pronunciation or offer a distinctive look.

Meaning centers on fairness/brightness. Common cognates and variants include Fiona (standard), Fíona (Irish), Fionna, and the rarer Feona; related Gaelic names sharing the fionn root are Fionn (m.), Fionnuala/Finola (f.), and Fionnghal. Nicknames include Fi and Fio. While less common than Fiona, Feona is readily understood internationally and retains the same graceful, light-associated sense.
