What Does the Name Geanna Mean?
Geanna is a feminine name generally understood as an English spelling of Gianna, the Italian feminine form of Giovanni. Giovanni derives from Latin Iohannes, from Greek Ioannes, from Hebrew Yochanan, which means "God is gracious." The same Hebrew name lies behind Joanna, Joan, and Jane. The meaning "God is gracious" is the literal etymological sense of Yochanan, not a symbolic interpretation added later.
Geanna Name History & Origins
Gianna arose in Italian as a short form of Giovanna, the feminine counterpart of Giovanni. Giovanna comes from Latin Iohanna, the feminine of Iohannes; that Latin form was taken from Greek Ioannes, which in turn came from Hebrew Yochanan. English inherited the same root in Joan, Jane, and Joanna. Geanna is an English respelling of Gianna, with Ge- standing for the same initial consonant sound as Italian Gi-. The spelling belongs to English usage rather than to Italian naming tradition.
