Dodonna is in Origin.

Dodonna is a rare feminine name that appears to blend the ancient Greek place-name Dodona (Δωδώνη) with the Italian-English given name Donna. Dodona was the famed oracle of Zeus in Epirus, where prophecies were interpreted from the rustling of a sacred oak; the toponym itself is probably pre-Greek and of uncertain meaning. The double n in Dodonna likely reflects influence from Donna, “lady,” so the name can suggest “lady of Dodona” or simply carry the dignified sense of “lady,” with added mythic overtones of wisdom and prophecy.

As a personal name, Dodonna surfaces sporadically in 20th–21st‑century records and in literary or fantasy contexts, without established traditional use or saintly associations. Variants and related forms include Dodona, Dodone, Donna, Donata, and the diminutive Doda; creative spellings such as Dodonnah also occur. Potential nicknames are Dodi, Dona, or Nonna.
