Onie

Onie Name meanings & History

The name Onie has multiple origins, including Native American and Greek origins. It could be a variant of Ona, which is derived from the Lithuanian name Ona meaning "grace." Alternatively, it might be a shortened version of the Greek name Onisim, which means "beneficial" or "useful.". Depending on the origin, Onie may mean "grace," "beneficial," or "useful.". Possibly an obscure Anglicization of Úna and Ùna (compare Owny) or a diminutive of names containing the sound element -on-.The origin and meaning of the extremely rare Dutch name are yet unknown; there is, however, one theory that links Onie to (masculine) names such as One, On and Onke. Another, more far-fetched, theory on the other hand attempts to link this name to Onias. Onie is mostly used as a female name.
