History & Origin

Derriona appears in United States records from the early 2000s as an inventive girls' name. It joins a De-/Derri- opening with the -ona ending; its appeal is the rolling sound rather than a traceable meaning.

It was never common, given to only a couple dozen girls a year at its early-2010s high. A girl named Derriona then is a teenager now; the name remains a rare, of-its-moment coinage.

Did you know? The flowing -iona ending links Derriona to names like Deriona and Ariona, a small family of -ona coinages.
