Lionah is in Origin.

Lionah is a modern feminine given name, likely a creative spelling of Liona or an elaboration of Leona, both derived from Latin leo “lion,” ultimately from Greek leōn. The core meaning is “lioness” or “lion-like,” carrying associations of courage, protection, and regal strength. As a contemporary choice, it pairs a fierce image with a soft, vowel-rich form.

Leona has long-standing use in Spanish- and English-speaking records and rose in popularity in the late 19th and early 20th centuries; Liona is rarer but attested across Europe. The -ah ending reflects current tastes influenced by Hebrew-style spellings. Variants and cognates include Leona, Léona, Liona, Leonie/Léonie, and Leone; related masculine forms are Leon, Leo, and Lionel. Alternative spellings for this form include Lionna and Lyona. Pronunciation commonly follows LEE-oh-nah or LIE-oh-nah, varying by region.
