Juana

Juana is the Spanish feminine form of Juan, which itself derives from the Latin Iohannes, ultimately rooted in the Hebrew name Yochanan, meaning God is gracious. The name has been widely used throughout the Spanish-speaking world for centuries and was borne by several notable historical figures, most famously Juana I of Castile, known as Juana la Loca, the 16th-century queen of Spain. Related forms include the masculine Juan, the Portuguese Joana, and the French Jeanne.
