Yonas

US Popularity Rank: 13638

Origin: Hebrew

Meaning: Dove; Gift from God

Yonas is a boy's name of Hebrew origin derived from Jonas and Jonah, with all three carrying the meaning of "dove." Jonah is, of course, the name of the historical Hebrew and Muslim prophet and the titular character in The Book of Jonah. Jonas, meanwhile, is the name of a young boy cloned twice by Disney to form a band in the mid-2000s. Both were considered a "gift from God." Baby Yonas will be blessed to know such a beautiful sentiment is attached to their name.
