Dona

Dona is an English feminine given name functioning as a simplified variant of Donna, which derives from the Italian word for lady or woman, ultimately rooted in the Latin domina, meaning mistress or lady of the house. It gained popularity in the mid-twentieth century alongside Donna, riding the wave of Italian-influenced names fashionable in English-speaking countries. Related forms include Donna, the Spanish title-derived Doña, and the Latinate Domina.
