The story behind the name

Jonah is a masculine name of Hebrew origins. The name derives from the Hebrew word "Yonah," meaning "dove," sharing ties with prophet Jonah, who was a leading figure in the Book of Jonah. As legend has it, the namesake prophet was swallowed by a whale, only to reappear on land days later unharmed. While superstitious sailors might not be confident with a Jonah on board, baby's dove-like qualities are sure to bring peace to life's rocky waters.
