Etymology
Jovanni is a modern variant of Giovanni, derived from the Hebrew name Yochanan (יוֹחָנָן), meaning "God is gracious" through the Latin form Ioannes. The name combines the Hebrew elements "Yo" (God) and "hanan" (gracious/merciful).
Jovanni is primarily used in Italian and Spanish-speaking cultures, with Giovanni being the Italian form and Juan the Spanish form; it emerged as a contemporary anglicized variation in English-speaking countries, particularly in the United States, without significant historical religious context beyond its biblical roots in John the Baptist and Saint John.
Jovanni currently ranks #1,118 in the United States as a boy's name. It reached its peak popularity around 2012.
