Originating from Hebrew, the name Shoni is a variant of Shraga, meaning 'song' or 'poem'. It's a unisex name, often used for both boys and girls. In some cultures, it may also be associated with the Hebrew word 'shain', which means 'pretty' or 'beautiful'. The name Shoni has gained popularity in recent years, particularly among parents seeking unique and meaningful names for their children.
The name Shoni experienced a resurgence in popularity between the years of 1969 to 1974 with peaks in 1973 and 1974 (9 and 11 births respectively). After 1977, the name's usage significantly decreased, with only one year exceeding 10 births since then. The most recent years show a slight uptick in usage, but overall, Shoni remains relatively uncommon compared to its popularity during the late 60s and early 70s.
