You have listed the wrong spelling for Oinone (Oenone in Latin). The proper Greek spelling is Οἰνώνη: [noted -ed]
• https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oenone (in English)
• https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%CE%9F%E1%BC%B0%CE%BD%CF%8E%CE%BD%CE%B7 (in English; this is about the name)
Also, the first element of this name can easily be derived from the Greek noun οἴνη (oine) meaning "vine", not least because it comes from the same root as the already mentioned οἶνος (oinos) meaning "wine":

• https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%CE%BF%E1%BC%B4%CE%BD%CE%B7#Ancient_Greek (in English)
• https://lsj.gr/wiki/%CE%BF%E1%BC%B4%CE%BD%CE%B7 (in English)
Lastly, the second element of this name should consist of the Greek feminine patronymic suffix -ώνη (-one):
• https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/-%CF%8E%CE%BD%CE%B7#Ancient_Greek (in English)
This is further strengthened by the fact that one of the possible fathers of the mythological character is named Oineus (Oeneus in Latin). If this Oineus is indeed her father, then her name would literally mean "daughter of Oineus".

Could hypothetically be anglicized as Enona or Enonia.

Oenone Wood is an Australian former professional cyclist. I think that 'Noni' would be a cute nickname.

My great-grandmother was named Oenone, pronounced like An-own. My mother always says it's a Greek name, but never told me it was mythological. That is so cool!

I like this name too! It's one of my favorite Greek Mythology names because it's so different!

I love this name! I would totally name a daughter Oenone but would worry that nobody would be able to pronounce it or spell it. It sounds like a like a name for a woman of ethereal beauty.
