History & Origin
Remona is a variant spelling of Ramona, the Spanish feminine form of Ramón, or Raymond. That name joins the old Germanic ragin, 'counsel' or 'wisdom', to mund, 'protection', so it is usually read as 'wise protector'.
It never matched Ramona itself, peaking around 1965 at only a few dozen girls a year and fading afterward. It reads today as a mid-century variant rather than a mainstream or revived name.
