ArchivesRe: Tell me if I'm pronouncing "Ione" right:
in reply to a message by Tbird
I think you have the direction of the derivation backwards -- Nonie would be derived from Ione.
I think that most scholars would you use the three syllable pronunciation "eye-OH-nee" in English. But there are a great many American women who have borne this name who have pronounced it in two syllables as "eye-OWN."
