Did you know?

While レオナ is written in katakana for foreign names, Japanese parents can choose kanji characters to give it a native meaning, such as 玲央奈 to mean 'clear', 'center' and 'apple tree'.
Because Japanese lacks a 'v' sound, names like 'Levona' would also be written as レボナ or レオナ, potentially causing confusion between different original names.
When introducing themselves, a person named レオナ might add the suffix ちゃん to become レオナちゃん to sound cute or friendly in casual settings.
