Giovanna

Giovanna is the Italian feminine form of Giovanni, itself derived from the Latin Iohannes, which traces back to the Hebrew name Yohanan, meaning God is gracious. The name has been borne by numerous historical figures, including several Italian noblewomen and saints, reflecting its enduring popularity throughout the Italian-speaking world. It corresponds to Joan, Jane, Jean, and Joanna in other European languages, all sharing the same Hebrew root.
