History & Origin
Dereonna is a modern coinage in the family of Deonna and Breonna, joining a De- opening to a flowing -eonna close. It reads as pure euphony, with no single inherited root. It appears in United States records from the late 2000s, reached a quiet high right around then, and faded within a few years. It was never common, given to only a couple dozen girls a year.
A girl named Dereonna from the late 2000s would be a teenager now. It is not a revival; prefixed -onna coinages crest and recede quickly, and this one has settled back into rarity.
