Dona

Dona is an English feminine 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. The name gained popularity in the mid-twentieth century alongside Donna, riding a broader wave of Italian-influenced given names in English-speaking countries. Related forms include Donna, the Spanish honorific-turned-name Doña, and the Latinate Domina.
