An uncommon Spanish pick — distinctive and rare.
A male given name.
Jovani is a boy's and girl's baby name of Spanish and Italian origin, a variant of Giovanni and the Spanish Jovanni, from Hebrew Yohanan, meaning 'God is gracious.'
The single-n spelling Jovani gives this name a slightly sleeker appearance than Jovanni, and it has become particularly popular in Latino communities in the United States. It carries the musical, operatic warmth of its Italian roots in an accessible, contemporary form.
Jovani was #757 twenty years ago and has since drifted to #1171, but its charm endures.
