Yoconda

Yoconda is a feminine name of Spanish and Italian origin. Meaning “delight,” it’s an alternative form of Gioconda. While this may be the first time you have heard of this name, it’s very unlikely that you haven’t heard of Mona Lisa, the most famous painting in the world. Did you know it’s also known as La Gioconda? Some say that the artwork was titled as such because a Florentine businessman surnamed Gioconda commissioned a painting of his wife from Da Vinci. On the other hand, some argue that the title in itself is a reference to that famously mysterious smile. Either way, if your baby too has a winsome smile, Yoconda is a delightful option.
