"Variant of Yunus"
The name Yonis is commonly a male name from the "Turkish" origin.
Yonis is a Latin-alphabet spelling of Yunus, the Arabic form of the name Jonah. Arabic names are transliterated into English letters in several ways, so the same name is written as Younis, Younes, Yunis or Yonis. Yunus is the name of a prophet named in the Quran, and the name is used in Arabic-speaking countries and by Muslim communities in other regions.
Yunus means "The Biblical Jonas is the English language equivalent. A Prophet's name.".
The pronunciation of Yonis is YOH-nis.
