Sjonni is Icelandic in Origin.

Sjonni is an Icelandic masculine diminutive, most commonly a familiar form of Sigurjón. Sigurjón blends Old Norse sigr, meaning “victory,” with Jón, the Icelandic form of John from Hebrew Yohanan, “God is gracious.” As a nickname, Sjonni carries the sense of “victorious Jón/John” and the affectionate tone typical of Icelandic -i pet names. It is used primarily in modern Iceland, where such hypocoristics are widespread in everyday address, and it gained broader notice through the late Icelandic musician Sigurjón “Sjonni” Brink.

While Sjonni can occasionally appear as an independent given name, it remains rare; the formal source name is Sigurjón. Related Icelandic forms include Jón, Jonni, and Nonni (a traditional pet form of Jón). Outside Iceland, comparable diminutives include Jonny and Johnny. Note that Dutch Sjonnie, sometimes seen in popular culture, is a separate diminutive of John and not etymologically Icelandic.
