My name! 'Sona' does mean fortunate, lucky and happy in Scotch Gaelic, but I think it's mainly used as Gaelic form of Jane or Joan, and a feminine form of John, which don't have this meaning. I've also seen more commonly in Scotland recently a kind of 're-gaelicisation' of the name short of Seonag in the form of Shonagh. I love this as a name, and wouldn't swap it. My parents apparently, though, weren't aware of the 'Jane' connection of the name as they called me Shona Jane, which is a bit repetitive- but I don't mind!

It means "happy" or "lucky" in both Scotch and Irish Gaelic.

Shona is the feminine of the Hebrew name, John, which means gift from God. It is also Gaelic for Jane or Joan.
