Jeanna

Jeanna is an English feminine name functioning as a variant spelling of Jeanne or Jean, themselves derived from the Old French form of the Latin Iohannes, which traces back to the Hebrew name Yochanan meaning God is gracious. The name ultimately shares its roots with the widely used Johannes tradition that spread across Europe through early Christianity. Notable bearers of the standard forms include Jeanne d'Arc, the celebrated fifteenth-century French heroine, which helped maintain the name's enduring popularity. Related forms include Jean, Jeanne, Jana, Joanna, and Johanna.
