Lovonia is English in Origin.

Lovonia is a rare American feminine given name, probably formed by blending the English word love with a Latinate -onia ending, and influenced by the established names Lavinia and Livonia. Lavinia derives from ancient Roman legend and the place name Lavinium, while Livonia names a Baltic region; both filtered into English naming and American place names, shaping creative spellings such as Lovonia.

Documented in U.S. records from the late 19th through mid-20th centuries, particularly in the South and among African American families, the name never reached sustained national popularity and is now an uncommon, vintage-tinged choice. Common variants include Lavonia, Lovonya, Lavonya, Livonia, Lovina or Luvina, and the classical Lavinia; nicknames range from Lovie and Loni to Vonnie, Vonia, and Nia. Meaning is interpreted either as a direct "love" name or, via Lavinia, "of Lavinium"; a Livonia reading suggests "from the land of the Livs".
