Help[Opinions] Somebody in your Violet thread said...
in reply to a message by Joshua
...that Violet is a form of Ione. Did you know that before? It's kind of cool that two of your favorite names are connected like that.
I don't think it's even remotely common. I googled it, and it was mostly links to cities, companies, or products with Ione in the name. It is pretty though.

Iole, not Ione
I believe Violet is related to Iole, not Ione. The meanings here on BtN list Iole as "violet" and Ione as a place name.

Oh, okay
Maybe that's what was meant by the person I read it from.

I didn't know that Violet and Ione were etymologically related. And yes, I do agree that it's cool that two of my fave names for females are connected. In my experience, Ione certainly isn't a common name, though it may have been more common earlier in the 20th century.
