An uncommon Spanish pick — distinctive and rare.
A male given name from Spanish.
Jovanni is a boy's and girl's baby name of Spanish origin, an elaborated form of Giovanni (the Italian form of John), from Hebrew Yohanan, meaning 'God is gracious.'
The extra syllable gives Jovanni a grander, more musical quality than the standard Giovanni. It's particularly popular in Latino communities in the United States, where Italian and Spanish naming traditions often blend. The name carries warmth and a certain operatic flair.
Jovanni was #892 twenty years ago and has since drifted to #1113, but its charm endures.
