Meaning & Story
A diminutive of Joan or Joanna - from the Hebrew Yohanan meaning God is gracious. Joanie is the affectionate, informal form, full of warmth and a certain American mid-century sweetness.
Joanie is the kind of name you say with a smile already forming. It is completely warm, slightly retro, and utterly charming. She is sweet without being silly, friendly without being overwhelming. Just Joanie. Just wonderful.
