Female. In Spanish and Italian the Don is the Chief male and the Dona is his wife. (similar to Duke and Duchess or Count and Countess) Both Don and Donna are now common first names.

That is a female name. Donald, which could easily sound similar is male name. Donald could also be called Don... Don could mean a few things too- depending on the situation.

Donna is a female's name. The "-a" is a sort of diminutive ending, much like "-lein" and "-chen" in German, or "-ita" in Spanish. Thus we get:
Don/Donna
Chris/Krista
John/Johnna (I've seen it twice for a woman)
Carl/Carla
etc.

And in Spanish, it is common to use "Dona" infront of an older lady's (grandmother age) name.
