Dona is a feminine name with multiple origins. In Spanish, it's a title of respect (similar to 'lady' or 'madam') derived from the Latin 'domina' meaning 'lady of the house.' It's also a variation of Donna, which comes directly from the Italian word for 'woman' and was popularized in English-speaking countries during the mid-20th century. In Portuguese contexts, Dona similarly functions as an honorific title. The name has a simple elegance and cross-cultural appeal, though its usage has declined since its peak in the 1950s-60s. Dona offers a slight variation on the more common Donna, giving it a distinctive yet familiar quality that works well internationally.

The name Dona is currently ranked #879 in U.S. births. and peaked for girls at #302 in 1933. It is currently rising in popularity. Dona is occasionally used for boys in 1982.
