Ivana

Ivana is the feminine form of Ivan, the South and East Slavic equivalent of John, itself derived from the Hebrew Yohanan meaning God is gracious. The name is widely used across Czech, Slovak, Serbian, Croatian, Slovene, Bulgarian, Macedonian, and Italian naming traditions, reflecting the broad reach of the Johannine name family across Europe. It gained international recognition in part through Ivana Trump, the Czech-born businesswoman and first wife of Donald Trump. Related forms include Ivanka, Ivanna, and the masculine Ivan, while more distant cognates include Jana, Giovanna, and Joanna.
