Davonna
Meaning of Davonna
Davonna (/dəˈvɑnə/) is a feminine given name that emerges as an Anglicized elaboration of the Hebrew name David—rooted in the Semitic dwd, signifying beloved—and its morphological composition, featuring the suffix -onna, exemplifies an Anglo-American pattern of augmentative feminine derivation analogous to French Davina and Scottish Gaelic Dàibhinn. Since its first recorded appearances in United States birth registers in the mid-20th century, the name has maintained a consistent yet modest presence, habitually ranking outside the highest tiers of popularity and thereby conveying a measure of understated distinction. Its intrinsic association with the biblical figure of King David imparts semantic undertones of loyalty and affection, positioning Davonna as a choice that balances historical gravitas with contemporary individualism.
