Meaning & origin

Zionna is a modern feminine name that first appeared on U.S. birth records in 1998. It reached its peak popularity in 2011, and since then its usage has been gradually declining. As of 2025, it ranks 7,133th, with approximately 1 in 107,151 newborn girls receiving the name. The name is not concentrated in any particular state, reflecting its scattered, individualistic appeal. Zionna's spelling suggests a blend of the evocative place name Zion and the fashionable -onna ending, making it part of a broader trend of creative, melodic coinages in contemporary American naming.

Zionna is a modern coinage, first recorded in the United States in 1998. It appears to be a feminine elaboration of the biblical place name Zion, often combined with the popular -onna suffix (as in Donna or Gianna). There is no ancient or traditional etymology; its appeal lies in its melodic sound and spiritual resonance.
