Zonia Origin and Meaning

The name Zonia is a girl's name.

Zonia is a feminine name with multiple possible origins. It may be derived from the Greek word 'zone' meaning 'belt' or 'girdle,' or could be a variant of Sonia (wisdom) or Zoe (life). In some cultures, it might be connected to names like Sonja or Zenaida. With its uncommon nature and melodic 'z' sound, Zonia has an exotic, distinctive quality. The name has appeared occasionally throughout the 20th century but has never been widely popular in English-speaking countries. In certain Hispanic communities, Zonia sees more regular usage.

A person named Zonia would likely enjoy having a name that feels both accessible and unique.
