Wynnona Origin and Meaning

The name Wynnona is a girl's name.

Wynnona is a feminine name that represents a variant spelling of Winona, which has Dakota Sioux Native American origins meaning "first-born daughter." The distinctive double 'n' and 'y' spelling gives this version a more elaborate, decorative quality while maintaining the melodious sound of the original name. Wynnona gained some recognition through association with country music star Wynonna Judd (though her spelling uses a single 'n'). The name conveys a sense of natural beauty and American heritage, with a slightly rustic, country charm. While never reaching mainstream popularity, Wynnona appeals to parents drawn to names with indigenous American roots and those seeking a distinctive spelling variation of a recognized name with a warm, musical quality.
