Keionne is English in Origin.

Keionne is a modern American given name, most often feminine, formed by blending or extension of names such as Keona/Keyonna and Keon/Keion. Its components point to several linguistic currents: Hawaiian Keoni (the local form of John, from Hebrew Yohanan, “God is gracious”) likely shapes the Kei-/Keo- element, while Irish Keon - linked to Cian, “ancient; enduring” - offers an alternate root. As with many contemporary coinages, the doubled -nne ending serves as a softening, feminizing flourish rather than a distinct morpheme. Consequently, Keionne is commonly interpreted as “God is gracious” or, less often, “enduring/ancient.”

Documented in the 1990s–2000s, Keionne remains rare and stylistically flexible, fitting the creative naming patterns of African American English and broader U.S. trends toward phonetic innovation. Variants include Keionna, Keyonna, Keiona, Keyona, Kionna, and Keyonne; related masculine forms are Keon, Keion, and Keoni.
