Giannos

Giannos Origin and Meaning

The name Giannos is a boy's name.

Giannos is a masculine name of Greek origin, functioning as a variation of the widely popular name John. Derived from Ioannis, the Greek form of John, which ultimately comes from the Hebrew name Yochanan meaning 'God is gracious.' Giannos has a distinctively Hellenic character with its '-os' ending, typical of many traditional Greek male names. While common in Greece and among Greek communities worldwide, Giannos remains relatively uncommon in English-speaking countries, offering a distinctive alternative to the more familiar variants like John, Sean, or Ivan. The name carries the warm, Mediterranean flavor of Greek culture while maintaining the meaningful connection to its ancient biblical origins.
