The name Giovanni is of Italian origin and is the Italian equivalent of the English name John. It ultimately derives from the Hebrew name Yochanan (יוֹחָנָן), which means “God is gracious” or “God has shown favor.” This meaning is rooted in religious tradition, as several prominent biblical figures—such as John the Baptist and John the Apostle—carry the name in its various forms. Giovanni is a classic and timeless choice, especially among those wishing to honor Italian heritage, and it remains popular in both Italy and among Italian communities worldwide. The name also offers affectionate nicknames like Gianni, Gio, and Vanni.
