Keonie is in Origin.
Keonie is a contemporary variant of Keoni (pronounced kee-OH-nee), the Hawaiian adaptation of the name John. Its meaning traces back through Hebrew Yehohanan (Yohanan), via Greek Ioannes and Latin Iohannes, to "God is gracious." Keoni emerged in the 19th century as biblical names entered Hawaiian through missionary contact and the royal court; a notable bearer was Keoni Ana (John Young II), a high official of the Kingdom of Hawaii.
Keonie itself is rare and modern, favored as a phonetic spelling that signals the final -ee sound and sometimes chosen for girls as well as boys, though Keoni has been traditionally masculine. Variant forms include Keoni and Keone; related Hawaiian and global cognates include Ioane (Hawaiian biblical form), Sean, Ian, Juan, Giovanni, and Ivan. Note that while Hawaiian ke one means "the sand," the given name Keonie derives from the John/Keoni line, not from that phrase.
