History & Origin
Raymona is a feminine of Raymond, built on the Germanic ragin, 'counsel', and mund, 'protection', so it means 'wise protector' or 'protecting counsel'. It runs parallel to Ramona, the Spanish-flavored form made famous by a nineteenth-century novel, and it let families pass a Raymond down to a daughter.
It was always rare, given to only about twenty girls a year around its 1963 peak, and it stayed an uncommon choice next to Ramona. A Raymona born then is now of grandparent age, and the name reads as a vintage feminine form rather than a current pick.
