How to Pronounce Amariona
Pronounced ah-mah-ree-OH-nuh /ˌɑːmɑːriˈoʊnə/Medium
Meaning: Amariona is a recent American elaboration, stretching the fashionable Amari with a flowing -ona ending, and overlapping the Catalan Mariona, a pet form of Maria. Amari itself is variously tied to a Yoruba sense of 'strength' and to Arabic 'ammar, 'long-lived'. The blended coinage carries the feel of those parents rather than one settled meaning.Low

History & Origin
Amariona is a twenty-first-century invention, an ornamental spin on Amari softened with an Italian-sounding -ona finish. It brushes against the Catalan Mariona, a diminutive of Maria, but its use in America owes more to the popularity of Amari than to any European line.
It never became common, reaching only a couple dozen girls a year at its brief high in the late two-thousands. A girl given it then is a teenager now, and it still reads as a one-off melodic coinage rather than a rooted, traceable name.
