Etymology

The noun *doña* is not native to French; it is a loan from Spanish, where it is the feminine form of the honorific *don*. *Don* derives from the Latin *dominus* (“lord, master”), a title of respect that entered medieval Spanish as a formal address. In French usage, *doña* appears mainly in literary or historical contexts, retaining the same Spanish‑derived sense of a respectful female title.
