A gender-neutral name of Hebrew origin, Jona is a charming choice meaning “dove.” A clear variant of Jonah, this name tells the story of the Hebrew Bible prophet who was swallowed by a whale, only to re-emerge intact three days later. Jona is also considered a version of Jon, coming from Yochanan, which signifies “God is gracious.” Meanwhile, its Albanian roots lend it to the translation “echo.” Jona is a great choice if you’re looking for a biblical name that is more unique than Jacob or Joanna. For a little peacemaker, how beautiful is Jona?
