Sonni is a gender-neutral name and a variant of Sonny spelled with an -i. A diminutive of any moniker that includes the English element son, Sonni, unsurprisingly, translates to "son." Even if your little one doesn't carry this title, Sonni's adorable sound and upbeat vibe will still catch your eye. Perhaps Sonni is a shortened form of Sönneva, a Swedish variant of the Old English name Sunngifu. Meaning "sun gift" or "gift of the sun," Sönneva speaks of a different kind of "sun," one that brings light and warmth to the world. With every big smile and joyous giggle, sweet Sunni will illuminate your home and heart in a similar way.
