Jonay is a modern feminine variation of Jonah or John, ultimately derived from the Hebrew name Yochanan. While its roots are ancient, this specific spelling and usage as a girl's name is a contemporary American innovation. It combines the traditional 'Jo' prefix with a stylish 'nay' suffix, giving it a rhythmic, melodic quality.
