What is the meaning of the name Lonnie ?

The baby name Lonnie is a Unisex name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced LON-ee (IPA: /ˈlɒni/ or /ˈlɑni/).

Lonnie is in Origin.

Lonnie is an English given name used chiefly in North America, most often a short form of Alonzo/Alonso, the Spanish and Italian offshoots of Alfonso from the Germanic Adalfuns (adal "noble" + funs "ready, eager"). Through this line it carries the meaning "noble and ready." In some families Lonnie also abbreviates Leonard, yielding the alternative sense "lion-brave." The name moved from nickname to independent given name by the late 19th century.

U.S. records show broad use for boys from the 1900s through the 1970s, with a mid-century peak; it has also seen occasional unisex use, especially via the spelling Loni. Variant spellings include Lonny, Lonie, Loni, and Lonni; related full forms are Alonzo, Alonso, Alfonso, and Leonard. Lonnie conveys a friendly, down-to-earth tone and retains cultural visibility through figures such as bluesman Lonnie Johnson and engineer-inventor Lonnie Johnson.
