Ioni is usually considered a modern, phonetic variant of Ione, from ancient Greek Ionē, “violet,” borne by a Nereid in classical myth and revived in the English-speaking world through 19th‑century literature. Its lilting -i ending lends a contemporary feel, and some parents also hear echoes of Iona, the Scottish saint’s isle, though the two have distinct roots.

Note that look‑alikes such as Ion (Basque/Romanian form of John) and Yoni (Hebrew nickname for Yonatan) are unrelated. Overall meaning centers on the violet flower and associations of modesty and springtime renewal.
