What Does the Name Jhoanna Mean?
Jhoanna is a spelling variant of Joanna (also found as Johanna), a feminine name derived through Latin Joanna and Greek Ioanna from Hebrew Yochanan. The name is commonly translated "God is gracious" or "Yahweh is gracious." Its Hebrew components join a shortened form of the divine name with a verb meaning "to be gracious" or "to show favor." The Jh- spelling does not create a separate meaning; it is an alternate written form of the same name.
Jhoanna Name History & Origins
Joanna comes from Greek Ioanna, the feminine counterpart of Ioannes (English John), which renders Hebrew Yochanan. In the New Testament, Joanna is named as the wife of Chuza, Herod's steward, and as one of the women who followed Jesus and later reported the empty tomb in Luke's Gospel. Through Latin Christian usage, Joanna became established in Western Europe; related forms include Johanna in German and other languages, Juana in Spanish, and Joana in Portuguese.
Jhoanna is a respelling of Joanna rather than an independently derived name. The added h after J is a spelling variation; it does not change the name's derivation or its usual American English pronunciation.
