Mignona is in Origin.

Mignona is a rare modern variant of French Mignonne and English/French Mignon, ultimately from Old French mignon/mignot “darling, favorite,” likely rooted in a Germanic word for love (Old High German minne). The core meaning is “cute,” “dainty,” or “beloved,” with a gently affectionate tone. The -a ending is probably influenced by Italian and Spanish feminine forms, which helps the name read as international while preserving its French charm.

Usage has been sporadic: Mignon entered wider use in the 19th century via Goethe’s character and Ambroise Thomas’s opera, and Mignonne echoes Ronsard’s celebrated line “Mignonne, allons voir si la rose.” In English-speaking countries the name family enjoyed modest popularity in the early 1900s; in Francophone Africa it appears as a given name derived from the endearment. Variants include Mignonne, Mignon, Mignone, and the diminutive Mignonette; Mignona remains exceptionally rare. Possible nicknames: Mimi, Nona, Noni.
