Meaning of Giann

Giann, pronounced /dʒan/ in Italian and /dʒiˈæn/ in American English, is a concise Italian masculine given name derived from Giovanni—the Italian variant of the Hebrew Yochanan, meaning “God is gracious.” By truncating its parent form, Giann preserves the semantic weight of its biblical heritage while reducing orthographic complexity, appealing to parents who value both tradition and technical phonetic precision. According to the U.S. Social Security Administration, Giann has maintained a stable niche status in Anglo-American naming charts, consistently ranking near the 900th position and registering 11 newborns in 2024. This modest adoption profile highlights Giann’s capacity to convey cultural resonance without succumbing to overuse or elaborate spelling.
