Lovonna is English in Origin.

Lovonna is a modern American feminine name, most often treated as a creative variant of LaVonna/Lavonna - an elaboration influenced by Yvonne. Through Yvonne (the French form of the Germanic Yves), the name connects to the root iv- “yew,” giving Lovonna the traditional meaning “yew tree,” a symbol of endurance and longevity. Some parents also read it as a blend of “love” with the -onna ending or with Donna (“lady; woman” in Italian), adding an affectionate or feminine nuance, though this is considered a folk interpretation. A secondary, less likely link is to Hebrew Levona/Levonah (“frankincense”).

Usage in the United States clusters in the mid-20th century, paralleling LaVonne and related forms; it remains rare today. Variants and related spellings include Lavonna, LaVonna, LaVonne, Lavona, Lavone, Levonna, Lovona, and Vonna. Diminutives such as Vonnie, Lonna, and Lovie are sometimes used.
