History & Origin

Redonna is a mid-century blend, joining a Re- prefix to Donna, the Italian word for 'lady.' It belongs to the same prefix-plus-Donna fashion that produced Ladonna and Radonna, keeping Donna's ladylike meaning with an added flourish.

It was never common in the United States, given to only about twenty girls a year even at its peak around 1964, and it faded thereafter. A girl named Redonna then is in her sixties now.

Did you know? Donna was hugely popular in the 1950s and 1960s, and prefix blends like Redonna and Ladonna spun that fashionable name into fresh variations.
