Joasia

Joasia is a Polish diminutive of Joanna, itself derived from the Hebrew name Yohannah, meaning God is gracious. Joanna entered Polish naming traditions through the Latin and Greek ecclesiastical forms of the biblical name borne by several women in the New Testament, including a follower of Jesus mentioned in the Gospel of Luke. Joasia functions as an affectionate everyday form used alongside other Polish variants such as Joanna, Asia, and Hania.
