Ultimately from Ancient Greek ἰών (iṓn, “going”), likely reinforced by descendants like Polish jon.
jono (accusative singular jonon, plural jonoj, accusative plural jonojn)
SSA considers this word a sound-symbolic variant of juoni.[1] Perhaps more precisely equivalent to j(u)on- + -o, with sporadic shortening of the root vowel (*joon- > *jon-). The forms juono and joni are also found, albeit only sporadically, in dialects. Related to Veps jono, which is found outside of literary Veps in the adverb jonol (“in a line (of e.g. people)”).
