Matryona is from latin matrona "matron, mother, lady"
Oksana/Oxana is a version of Hosanna "save us" in hebrew

Matryona I think is a variant name of Matrona / Matrena which means "knowledgable woman, mother"

Oxana / Oksana could be a variation on O'Ksandr which is a variation of Aleksandr or Aleksandra which means "Steadfast"

Unfortunately, I couldn't find Vovo.

my russian friend thinks Oxana / Oksana comes from Kseniya / Xeniya... could be true?

Oksana and Ksenia are two different names, although their nn are the same - Ksyusha.
