Donna is an English-language feminine first name meaning "woman" in Italian. The original meaning is closer to "lady of the home" and was a title of respect in Italy, equivalent to Don for men. It is a common given name in the United States (particularly in Chicago, New York City, and San Francisco). It is rare as a surname.
