Kevonna
Kevonna Origin and Meaning
Kevonna is a feminine name that appears to have emerged in the United States during the 1980s and 1990s. It likely developed as a feminine form of Kevin (derived from the Irish name Caoimhín, meaning 'handsome birth') combined with the feminine suffix '-onna,' which creates a melodic ending similar to names like Shavonna or Devonna. The name may also be influenced by the '-onna' sound found in names like Donna (from Italian meaning 'lady'). Linguistically, Kevonna represents a common pattern in modern naming where masculine names are adapted with feminine endings to create new feminine forms. The three-syllable structure gives the name a rhythmic quality. While never extremely common, usage records show Kevonna has maintained consistent but limited use since its emergence, representing the creative naming practices that expanded feminine name options in the late 20th century.
