Yonnie is of Hebrew origin, derived from the word 'yonah', which means 'dove'. It signifies peace and purity.
The name Yonnie experienced popularity spikes early on with 9 births in 1914 and a consistent presence thereafter, peaking again in the mid-20th century with 5 births each in 1951 and 1954. However, it never gained widespread use, as seen by the total of only 36 births over these years.
