Idonea Clifford was an English aristocrat during the Plantagenets era of King Edward the third she was the grandmother of Cecily Neville and therefore the ancestor of all English royalty after Henry the 7th.
Can also be pronounced "EYE-dough-nee" or "IDA-nee". I have taught a student named Idonea and that is the way hers was, while Idony is "ID-ah-nee" I believe. Perhaps in other dialects it might sound like "I dunnae".
I just found this name and I'm very much in love with it! A gorgeous name, and I'm surprised it isn't used more! A hidden gem waiting to be found! Love it!
I am in love with this name. I would say it’s underused but that’s what makes it special. It reminds me of the name Ebony for some reason. The meaning, “Love Again, ” is just as beautiful.
I really like this name, and I'm surprised it's not more popular! It's very definitely feminine, yet strong. I would expect someone called Idonea to be very intelligent, beautiful and talented!
