Idonah
Idonah Origin and Meaning
Idonah is an uncommon feminine name with multiple possible origins. It may be a variant of Idona, derived from Old English elements meaning 'industrious' or 'hardworking,' or possibly related to the Medieval English name Idonea, meaning 'suitable' or 'appropriate.' The name could also have connections to biblical or Hebrew origins as a variant of Adonah. Throughout history, Idonah has remained extremely rare, appearing occasionally in historical records particularly in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The name has a lyrical, somewhat antiquated quality that evokes the Victorian era. Its rarity offers distinctiveness while its melodic sound makes it accessible, though the pronunciation might vary between 'ih-DOH-nah' and 'EYE-doh-nah.'
