Ninonah is in Origin.

Ninonah is a rare modern feminine name, probably formed by extending the French Ninon with the -ah ending or by blending Nina and Nona. Ninon is a long-established French pet form of Anne, ultimately from Hebrew Hannah, meaning “grace” or “favor.” The -ah ending lends a Hebrew-biblical feel without changing the core sense. As an invented elaboration, Ninonah has no single traditional homeland but appears in Anglophone use since the 2000s.

Variants and related forms include Ninona (dropping the final h), Ninon, Nina, and Nona; possible nicknames are Nini and Nia. Because its components trace to Anne/Hannah, Ninonah can be interpreted to carry the meaning “grace.” Some also hear an echo of Latin Nona (“ninth”), though this is a phonetic association rather than a direct etymology. Overall, Ninonah offers a familiar sound with distinctive length for parents seeking a unique, graceful choice.
