Meaning & origin

Davionna is a modern American name that first appeared in 1992 and peaked in popularity in 2003. Since 2003, its usage has been steadily falling, and it does not currently rank among the top 1000 names. The name follows a pattern of creating feminine forms from masculine names, similar to other -onna endings. While no top states are reported, its usage reflects broader trends in the 2000s decade for inventive, surname-inspired names.

Davionna appears to be a modern American coinage, combining the masculine name Davion (a surname-derived given name) with the popular feminine suffix -onna, reminiscent of names like Leona or Sharon. Davion itself is a respelling or variant of Davis, meaning 'son of David'. The name likely emerged in the late 20th century as part of a trend toward unique, melodic feminine names.
