Rhona is Irish (Gaelic), Scottish in Origin.
Rhona is a Scottish and English feminine given name, usually treated as a variant of Rona, the name of two Scottish islands. The toponym is commonly derived from Old Norse hraun "rough, rocky ground" + ey "island," giving the sense "rough/rocky island," though a Scottish Gaelic explanation from ròn "seal" ("seal island") is also proposed. The inserted h reflects the 20th-century fashion for Rh- spellings alongside Rhoda and Rhonda, and some bearers also connect it with Hebrew Rona "joyful song," lending a secondary modern meaning of "joy, song."
Use of Rhona rose in Scotland and wider Britain from the late 19th century, peaking mid-20th before declining to rare status today; it has always been uncommon in North America. Variants and related forms include Rona, Rhonna, Róna (Irish), and Rona/Roni/Ronnie as diminutives or nicknames.
