What is the meaning of the name Harmonia ?

Harmonia is Greek in Origin.

Harmonia derives from ancient Greek Ἁρμονία (Harmonía), from harmonia “fitting together, concord,” related to the verb harmózō “to join.” In Greek myth she personifies harmony, famed as the wife of Cadmus of Thebes and bearer of the fateful Necklace of Harmonia; sources differ on her parentage, often Ares and Aphrodite. The meaning centers on unity, agreement, and balance. Latin authors kept the theonym as Harmonia, while Rome’s conceptual counterpart was the goddess Concordia.

As a personal name it is scarcely attested in antiquity and remained rare until Renaissance and 19th‑century classical revivals; today it is an uncommon yet transparent choice. Variants and related forms include Harmony (modern English virtue name), Harmonie (French and English), and the pan‑European Latinized Harmonia. Cross‑cultural cognate Concordia echoes the same idea. Nicknames Nia or Mona fit naturally. In several European languages the spelling Harmonia appears unchanged, benefiting from its clear meaning and mellifluous cadence.
