Jonie is in Origin.
Jonie is an English diminutive most commonly linked to Joan/Joanne and their variants, deriving ultimately from Hebrew Yohanan via Latin Iohannes and French Jeanne, meaning “Yahweh is gracious” or “God is gracious.” Spelled with the friendly -ie ending, Jonie reads as a soft, informal form akin to Joni or Joanie, and is used chiefly for girls, though it can appear as a modern unisex nickname for names built on John/Jon.
Usage surfaced in English-speaking countries in the early-to-mid 20th century alongside the vogue for pet-name forms, and its visibility was buoyed by the popularity of Joni/Joanie in the 1960s-70s. Close variants include Joni, Joanie, and Joney; related root forms span Joan, Joanne, Joanna, Johanna, and Jane, with international counterparts such as Jeanne (French), Giovanna (Italian), Juana (Spanish), Ivana (Slavic), and Siobhán (Irish). Despite modest independent statistics, Jonie retains a warm, vintage-nickname charm.
