History & Origin
Keiona is a coined American girl's name that pairs a Kei- prefix with the gentle -ona ending seen in Fiona and Shiona. It belongs to the late-twentieth-century taste for freshly minted, vowel-rich names that sound established without carrying a fixed traditional meaning.
Keiona drew a modest number of girls a year and peaked around 1996, later than the mid-century names around it. It has stayed uncommon since. A Keiona from that peak is in her late twenties now, a Millennial name.
