History & Origin
Ladonya looks like a mid-to-late-twentieth-century American coinage, pairing the La- prefix with Donya, or reshaping Ladonna. Donya echoes Donna, from the Italian for 'lady', giving a faint older thread beneath the modern build, which we note. A girl named Ladonya near its faint peak in the late nineteen-seventies is in her forties today.
It never spread widely, staying a rare, personal name of the La- era. Its meaning lives chiefly in its parts rather than a single old root.
