Meaning & origin
Jonnae is a modern American feminine name that first appeared in Social Security records in 1980. It has never been a common choice; its highest usage occurred in 1998, though it still did not reach the top 1000. The name has remained stable in frequency since then, ranking outside the top 1000 in all recorded years. As a late-20th-century coinage, Jonnae exemplifies the trend of blending short names like Jon with fashionable suffixes to create unique, feminine-sounding names. It is most likely a creative variant of names such as Jona or Jonna, modified with the '-ae' ending.
Jonnae appears to be a modern invented name, likely formed by combining the popular name element 'Jon' (a short form of Jonathan) with the fashionable suffix '-ae' seen in names like Renae and Donae.
