Gianetta Origin and Meaning

The name Gianetta is a girl's name of Italian origin.

Gianetta is a feminine name of Italian origin, functioning as a diminutive form of Gianna, which itself derives from the Italian version of Jane or Joan (ultimately from Hebrew, meaning 'God is gracious'). This charming, melodic name carries the warmth and expressiveness characteristic of Italian nomenclature, with the '-etta' suffix adding an affectionate, delicate quality. Though relatively uncommon in English-speaking countries, Gianetta offers an elegant alternative for parents attracted to Italian culture or seeking a distinctive yet recognizable name.
