Meaning & Origin
Jianna is a girl's baby name of Italian origin, a variant spelling of Gianna, the Italian diminutive of Giovanna — the Italian feminine form of John — from the Hebrew Yochanan meaning "God is gracious."
The Jianna spelling gives the beloved Italian name Gianna a more phonetically direct English written form. With Gianna surging into the U.S. top 30, Jianna offers a way to use this beautiful name with a slightly less common spelling, while the meaning and warmth remain entirely intact.
