Zhanna

Zhanna is the Russian, Ukrainian, and Belarusian feminine form of the French name Jeanne, which itself derives from the Old French and Medieval Latin Johanna, ultimately rooted in the Hebrew Yohanan, meaning God is gracious. The name entered Eastern European usage through Western cultural influence, carrying the same divine-favor sense found across its broader family of names. It corresponds directly to Jane, Jean, Joan, Joanna, and Johanna in other European traditions.
