Meaning: Deonne is best read as a form of Dionne, a name popularized in America and usually traced to the Greek Dione, a mother-goddess figure whose name relates to Zeus and the sky. As a coinage it also fits the mid-century 'De-' names built for sound. The Greek link gives it a plausible meaning without overclaiming.Low

History & Origin

It was always a rarity, a few dozen girls a year around its faint high near 1968, fading within a few decades. Its sound sits beside Dionne, Deanne and Deandra.
