Fiona
yFiona can be of Irish Gaelic origin from Fionn meaning "the fair one". it can also be of Greek origin meaning "Violet", the name was indeed a literary creation byt the Scottish writer William Sharp, hwo used it for hiw pseudonym "Fiona Macleod". the name is now most popular in Scotland, N. Ireland, and Ireland. this is the personality of a Fiona:
fiona is renowed for her good taste, elegance, and intelligence. She makes her presence felt whereever she goes. Her charm and conversational ability have endeared her to many. A very accomplished and articulate lady.
also i would like to add that i think that it is ver interesting that the person who started the Fiona link's name was Tara Siobhan and mine is Fiona Siobhan! what an interesting coincidence!

I'm agreeing with Chrisell and would also like to add that my husband's sister is named Fiona, but to say this is nonsense.
"Fiona is renowed for her good taste, elegance, and intelligence. She makes her presence felt whereever she goes. Her charm and conversational ability have endeared her to many. A very accomplished and articulate lady."
If this were true the Fiona I know would not be insecure, hesitant to speak, or self-conscience. Life shapes a person, not a name.

No, sorry . . .
Fiona does not mean "violet" in Greek. The Greek for "violet" is ion, and Ianthe is a Greek name meaning "violet flower" (click link for details).
As for all the stuff about personality, sorry but it's nonsense. Personality comes from many sources - genetics, upbringing, life situations; but NOT a person's name. I know several Fionas, none of whom match that description and all of whom are different from each other.
