Donna (given name)

Donna is an English-language feminine first name meaning "woman" in modern Italian, and "lady" or "mistress" in classical Italian. The original meaning is closer to "lady of the home" and was a title of respect in Italy, equivalent to Don for gentlemen or lord. It is a common given name in the United States, particularly in Chicago, Florida, New York City, and Washington. It is rare as a surname.
