What is the meaning of the name Kionna ?

The baby name Kionna is a Female name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced kee-ON-uh (IPA: /kiˈɒnə/).

Kionna is English, Irish, Native American in Origin.

Kionna is a modern American feminine name, most likely a creative blend or respelling linked to Kiana, Keona, and Kiona. Through Kiana, it connects to the Hawaiian form of Diana, carrying the sense “divine” or “heavenly.” Through Keona, it echoes the Hawaiian Keoni (John), yielding the Biblical meaning “God is gracious.” If seen as a variant of Kiona, it can also draw on a Native American toponymic meaning often given as “brown hills.” The double -nn- acts as a stylistic flourish common in late-20th-century naming.

The name rose in the United States from the 1970s onward, paralleling the popularity of Qiana/Quiana and Kiana in African-American communities and beyond, with occasional appearances on state and national lists in the 1990s–2000s. Variant forms include Kiona, Kiana, Kianna, Keona, Keyona, Kyonna, and Quiana; short forms such as Kia and Kiki are also used.
