Onie Origin and Meaning

The name Onie is a girl's name.

Onie is a feminine name with multiple possible origins. It likely developed as a diminutive of names like Leonie, Antonia, or Iona, though it can stand independently. The name has a sweet, vintage quality typical of early 20th century nickname-names. Onie appeared occasionally in American records during the early 1900s but never achieved widespread popularity. The name's short, melodic sound gives it a gentle charm, while its simplicity makes it accessible across cultures. Onie offers a distinctive alternative to more common vintage revivals like Annie or Maisie. Its rarity makes it especially appealing to parents seeking a name with historical precedent that few other children will share.
