Ionya

Ionya is a girl’s name of Greek origin. A variation of the place name Ionia, this super-trendy iteration alludes to the Ionians, a major tribe of the Ancient Greek people who migrated to Turkey—then known as Anatolia—from the district of Attica. From the earliest forms of iambic poetry to advancements in philosophy and architecture, the Ionians are said to have made many contributions to Greek culture, and they’re even given honorable mention in some Homeric writings. Inspire your little one to make just as great an impact with this medal-worthy moniker.
