Keionna is Gaelic in Origin.

Keionna is a modern American feminine given name that likely arose from several converging sources. It can be heard as a phonetic blend or elaboration of Keona/Keyona (a Hawaiian-influenced feminine form of Keoni “John,” yielding the meaning “God is gracious”) and Kiana (the Hawaiian form of Diana, “divine”). The spelling also reflects late-20th-century trends shaped by Qiana, the silky fabric that inspired names like Quiana/Quianna, with K- and Ke- prefixes popular in African-American naming. The -onna ending is a decorative, rhythmic suffix paralleling Johnna and Donna.

The name appears in U.S. usage from the late 1980s onward, with most visibility in the 1990s–2000s. Because it is a contemporary coinage, exact semantics vary, but parents often read Keionna as “God is gracious” or “divine gift.” Common variants include Keyonna, Keyona, Keona, Keiona, Keonna, Kionna, and Kiyonna; related forms are Kiana/Kianna and Quiana/Quianna. Nicknames include Kei, Key, Keke, and Ona.
