原文: It's so cute and pretty, I love it! I also love the similar-sounding Io and Iona, but I think Ione is my favorite out of the three, since it's longer than Io but doesn't sound like "I own a" the way Iona does.
原文: My name is Ione Octavia and I'm extremely proud of my name. Growing up I honestly secretly wished my name was different but now I can appreciate that it is a reflection of my uniqueness. I have also named my children exotic names for them to learn that they are special. I too pronounce my name as "eye-own".
原文: My middle name is Ione but it is the name I've always gone by (my first name is a Japanese name). I also pronounce it "I own". I've always joked that Ione Skye pronounces her name wrong ha, ha. I don't think it really matters how you pronounce it though. Go with what you like :-). The name was my paternal Grandmother's middle name (she also went by Ione), and it is my youngest daughters middle name. I have always liked my name and appreciate having an unusual name, although the first day of school was always a little difficult for my teachers, lol. I agree with "timryechris" in that, I've never actually met another Ione. I went to church years ago with an Iona but that's as close as I've gotten. I'm afraid if I ever meet another Ione I may become way too excited LOL!
原文: The English name Violet has rapidly gained popularity in later years. In the U.S.A., Violet shot up from #847th most popular name in 1999 to #141 most popular in 2009. It has also gained more usage in places such as Australia and the U.K.This is why Ione is such a fantastic alternative. It is a true gem of a name, nowhere near as common but just as beautiful in meaning and with an unusual but easy pronunciation.

原文: If the given name Ione comes from Ionia or Ionian, then the following applies:Taken from Wikipedia.org:"The etymology of the word is uncertain of proof. Both Frisk and Beekes isolate an unknown root, *Ia-, pronounced *ya-. There are, however, some theories:From an unknown early name of an eastern Mediterranean island population represented by Ha-nebu, an ancient Egyption name for the people living there.From ancient Egyptian 'iwn "pillar, tree trunk" extended into 'iwnt "bow" (of wood?) and 'Iwntyw "bowmen, barbarians." This derivation is analogous on the one hand to the possible derivation of Dorians and on the other fits the Egyptian concept of "nine bows" with reference to the Sea Peoples. From an Indo-European onomatopoeic root *wi- or *woi- expressing a shout uttered by persons running to the assistance of others; according to Pokorny, *Iawones would mean "Verehren des Apollo", "devotees of Apollo", based on the cry iç paiôn uttered in his worship."
原文: I am slightly biased because this is my niece's name (she is a toddler); however, I adore this name. It is beautiful, short and sweet; also, not very common.We pronounce the name - "eye-OH-nee".Ione is also a species of orchids.
原文: This name isn't quite as cool as Iona, but it won't lead to ''I own a'' jokes, and it sounds less like Leona, which reminds me of a mean rich woman with that name. This is quite a beautiful name, as long as people pronounce the final 'e'. It would be quite cool even without it, though.

翻译文: Ione,这个名字,确实的意思是“紫罗兰”。它在婴儿名字书中列出来。
原文: Ione, the name, does indeed mean "Violet". It's listed as this in a baby name book.
原文: This has become my favorite girl's name. I think it is one of the few under the radar names left. It is a terrific alternative to the now popular Chloe and Zoe.I didn't think of this name when I was naming my daugther earlier this year. But I'm sort of glad I didn't because I found out my husband didn't like it, and I would have just been bummed out. Now I'm hoping if we have another child, and it's a girl, the name might grow on him. But I doubt it. Maybe that is why the name isn't more popular, if one parent loves it, the other doesn't.
原文: Ione is one of the Nereids, the 50 daughters of Nereus (the old man of the sea). In the Greek, it would be pronounced eye-oh-nee. Dropping the third syllable is an English alteration.
