We publish a meaning only with a cited source and a confidence label, and never generate one. Meanings are being researched for the most common names first.
Wikidata records this spelling as a given name in Italian. That is where the name is used, not necessarily where it comes from.
Rare spellings summarised here: Giovana (881), Geovanna (819), Giavana (543), Zanetta (383), Geovana (276), Givanna (42), Giovonna (26), Giavannah (18), Giovina (8), Giovannah (6), Givonna (5).
Numbers are all-time US births. Links come from Wikidata’s “said to be the same as” (P460, CC0) and our spelling rule: at most two letters different, with the same sound pattern.
