MIGNON  (meen-yawn)

Gender: F
Origin: French
Meaning: "delicate, dainty"

Charming French endearment, first used as a name by Goethe, that now makes an appealing choice -- though the proper feminine form is Mignonne. Note, though, that this is not actually used as a name in France, where Manon would be the closest choice.

Nicknames & Variations:
Minyonell, Minyonne, Mignonne, Minnionette, Minnonette, Mingnon, Mignonette, Minyonette
