Meaning & Origin
A female given name from Italian.
Giavanna is a girl's baby name of Italian origin, an Americanized spelling of Giovanna — the Italian feminine form of Giovanni (John), from Hebrew Yohanan, meaning 'God is gracious.'
This variant spelling preserves the Italian roots while adapting the name to American phonetic conventions. It has the ornate, romantic quality of classic Italian feminine names, flowing off the tongue with natural elegance. A longer, more elaborate alternative to the simpler Gianna.
