Jonnie is predominantly a masculine name, though occasionally used for girls, functioning as a diminutive form of John or Jonathan. Derived from the Hebrew name Yochanan meaning 'God is gracious,' Jonnie offers a friendly, approachable variation of these traditional names. While John has been consistently popular throughout Western history, Jonnie peaked in popularity in the United States during the mid-20th century, particularly in the 1940s and 1950s. The spelling variant 'Johnny' is more common, making Jonnie slightly more distinctive. The name carries a youthful, amiable quality that often remains with the bearer throughout life.
