Meaning & origin
Evonna is a rare American girl's name first recorded in 1939. Its peak popularity came in 1990, though even then it never entered common use. As of the latest data in 2025, Evonna ranks 9,457th, with only about 1 in every 160,727 newborns receiving the name. Its trajectory has been stable over recent decades, indicating a consistent but very low level of use. The name appears to be a modern invention, blending Eva with the fashionable -onna suffix seen in names like Donna and Yvonne. No top states are associated with Evonna, suggesting it is extremely uncommon nationwide.
Evonna appears to be a 20th-century American coinage, likely formed from the name Eva (ultimately from Hebrew Chava, meaning 'life') combined with the fashionable suffix -onna (as in Donna or Yvonne). It emerged in the late 1930s and saw modest use during the mid-century, but never entered the top ranks of U.S. given names.
