I encountered this name as the real name of 19th-century ballet dancer Carlotta Grisi. She was an ethnic Italian from Istria (which is now part of Croatia). Does anyone have any idea as to what Caronne means?

Her birth name was Caronna Adela Giuseppina Maria Grisi. Caronna is an Italian toponymic surname so perhaps she was named after a relative.
