What is the meaning of the name Yoni ?

The baby name Yoni is a Male name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced YOH-nee (IPA: /ˈjoʊni/).

Yoni is Hebrew, Sanskrit in Origin.

Yoni is a Hebrew diminutive of Yonatan/Yehonatan, the biblical name borne by King Saul’s son Jonathan, from the root n-t-n “to give,” yielding the meaning “YHWH has given” or “gift of God.” In modern Israeli usage, Yoni functions both as a familiar nickname and as an independent masculine given name across Jewish communities; its visibility rose in the late 20th century and it remains warmly informal yet classic.

Variants and related forms include Yonatan, Yehonatan, Jonathan, and Jonatan; Yoni may also occasionally shorten Yonah (“dove”), though that stems from a different root. In Anglophone settings it sometimes appears alongside the spelling Joni, though Joni is more often feminine. Separately, Sanskrit yoni (योनि) signifies “womb, source, sacred generative power” in Hindu traditions; as a personal name in South Asia it is uncommon and tends to read unisex or feminine.
