Johana

Johana is a feminine given name derived from the Medieval Latin Iohannes, itself from the Greek Ioannes, which traces back to the Hebrew name Yochanan meaning God is gracious. It functions as a vernacular form used in Czech and Latin American Spanish contexts, representing a simplified spelling of the more widely spread Johanna. The name shares its heritage with a vast family of cognates across European languages, including Joanna, Jana, Juana, and Giovanna, all ultimately honoring the same Hebrew source.
