History & Origin
Keyonia is an American coinage elaborating Keyona, joining the Key- prefix to a flowing -onia ending. Names in the Key- and Ke- family multiplied among Black American parents from the 1970s, and Keyonia is a fuller, more lyrical member. It first appears in United States birth records around 1974 and touched a small high around 1992.
It was never common, given to only a couple dozen girls a year even at its peak. A Keyonia from that high would be in her thirties now; the name reads as an of-its-era coinage.
