Ladonna is English in Origin.
Ladonna is a modern American given name formed by combining the feminine article “la” with Donna, the Italian word for “lady,” ultimately from Latin “domina” meaning “mistress, lady of the house.” As such, Ladonna carries the straightforward meaning “the lady,” parallel to Italian “la donna” and akin in sense to “Madonna” (“my lady”).
Its use rose in the United States during the early-to-mid 20th century, aligning with fashions for La- prefixed names and the popularity of Donna by itself. LaDonna (capital D) is the most prevalent spelling; other variants include Ladona, La Donna, and hyphenated La-Donna. Short forms and related choices include Donna, Donnie/Donni, and Madonna. Today the name is rarer but preserves a midcentury vintage feel and a respectful, courtly tone rooted in Romance-language honorifics.
