feminine · English origin
Donna is an English feminine given name derived from the Italian word donna, meaning lady or woman, which itself traces back to Latin domina, the feminine form of dominus, meaning lord or master. It came into widespread use as a given name in the United States and other English-speaking countries during the twentieth century. The name shares its Latin root with the title Madonna, meaning my lady, as well as with the Spanish and Portuguese Doña, a respectful form of address for a woman. Don is the corresponding masculine form, though it developed independently as an English name.
