Xhoana Origin and Meaning

The name Xhoana is a girl's name meaning "God is gracious".

Notably borne by musician Xhoana Xheneti — known professionally as Xhoana X — Xhoana is an Albanian form of Joan. It ultimately derives from John, making it one of many international, feminine variations.

The spelling might throw anyone unfamiliar with the name, but the Albanian Xh makes an English J sound, meaning Xhoana is pronounced similarly to the English Joanna.
