Jonnee is in Origin.

Jonnee is a modern respelling of Johnnie/Johnny, diminutives of John, ultimately from Hebrew Yohanan via Greek Ioannes and Latin Iohannes, meaning “Yahweh is gracious” or “God is gracious.” The -ee ending gives it a contemporary, often unisex or feminine tilt in English, echoing endings in Annie and Jennie; it also brushes against Joni/Joanie, nicknames of Joan, Joanna, and Joanne that share the same root meaning.

Diminutives of John have circulated for centuries in the English-speaking world; Johnny/Johnnie has long been a familiar male pet form, while Johnnie appears for women in early-to-mid 20th-century U.S. records, particularly in the South. Jonnee surfaces as a rare, distinctive late 20th–21st century variant chosen for style more than tradition. Close variants and cognates include Jonny, Johnny, Johnnie, Jonnie, Joni, Joanie, Joannie, Joan, Joanna, Joanne, and Jeanne/Jeannie - names united by the enduring meaning “God is gracious.”
