Jayonah is of Hebrew origin, derived from the name 'Jonathan', meaning "gift of God". It's a unique and distinctive name, often preferred by those seeking something unusual yet meaningful for their child. The name Jayonah has gained popularity in recent years, particularly in English-speaking countries like the United States. Its uncommon nature may make it easier to remember and less likely to be shared with classmates or colleagues.

The name Jayonah first appeared in records in 2005 with six babies born that year. Since then, there have been no other recorded instances of this name being given to newborns annually.
