Re: Dewanna
Dewanna is dangerously close to the originally Spanish name Juana — just pronounce it after the spelling, but according to English rules.

For anyone else with this name, who would love to think it’s very unique and special…..let me assure you……This is the kind of name you will have to “spell” and “explain” your entire life. Maybe not so much now, but if you are as old as I am, and this is also your name, you’ve grown up pronouncing and explaining your name. How great it is to be different and unique. Your name will carry the meaning that you yourself have given your life. If you were strong, loving, kind and creative…that’s the meaning of your name. If you are as mean as a snake, that’s the meaning of your name. So, for all you girls named Dewanna, be considerate of your name and let’s all show the world that we are truly unique as our name and we are a true treasure to have as family and friend. I’ll always say that it’s somehow Native American and not a made up vision of my mothers imagination, but that’s just me.

Loved your take on this Dewonna. My sister it named Dewonnas and it was mine and my older sisters name put together. I'm Debbie and my sister is Donna. My dad just added the w between the first of my name and the last of my sisters.
