Geovana

Geovana is a Brazilian Portuguese feminine form of Giovanni, which itself derives from the Latin Iohannes and ultimately from the Hebrew Yohanan, meaning God is gracious. The name reflects the long history of Latinized Hebrew names spreading through Christian traditions and then adapting to regional phonetic preferences in Brazil. It is closely related to Giovanna, Joana, and Ivana, all of which trace back to the same Hebrew root.
