Giannah
Giannah Origin and Meaning
Giannah is a feminine name that appears to be a modern elaboration of Gianna, which itself is an Italian diminutive of Giovanna (the Italian feminine form of John). The name ultimately traces back to Hebrew origins meaning 'God is gracious.' The added 'h' gives the name a distinctive spelling while maintaining the melodic pronunciation of Gianna (jee-AH-nah). This contemporary variation has gained modest popularity in recent decades, particularly in the United States, as parents seek names with traditional roots but unique presentations. Giannah blends Italian charm with modern styling, offering a balance between familiarity and uniqueness. The name carries connotations of divine blessing and grace while its flowing sound conveys femininity and elegance.
