What Does the Name Ireona Mean?
Ireona is a rare feminine name of Greek origin, most plausibly an elaborated variant of Irene or Irena. The base is the Greek Eirēnē (Εἰρήνη), meaning 'peace'; the word also served as the name of a goddess. Latin adopted the name as Irene. The ending -ona does not add a separate meaning, so the underlying sense of Ireona is 'peace.'
Ireona Name History & Origins
The Greek Eirēnē belonged to Eirene, one of the Horae and the personification of peace, a daughter of Zeus and Themis; her Roman counterpart was Pax. Through Latin Irene and Christian devotion to saints named Irene, the name spread in forms such as Irena, Irina, and Irene in Greek, Slavic, Italian, Spanish, and English use.
Ireona extends that familiar name with an -ona ending, giving it a more ornate, Latinate shape. Its history is therefore bound up with the European use of Irene and Irena rather than with an independent ancient name. The form is uncommon, and its pronunciation is not standardized.
