Idonea

US Popularity Rank: None

Origin: Norse

Meaning: Suitable; To love

Idonea is a girl’s name of medieval English origin and an alternate spelling for Idony. Possibly taken from the Latin word idonea, it means “suitable,” but as a derivative of the Old Norse names Iðunn or Idun, it may also mean “to love.” If baby is into Norse mythology, they’ll certainly love Idonea for its connotations of eternal youth, for it was by Idun, the goddess of spring, and her magic apples that the gods were able to retain their vigor. Here’s a name to make your little one feel forever young!
