Johnna
Meaning of Johnna
Johnna traces its roots to the Latin Ioanna, the feminine form of Ioannes (“God is gracious”), and surfaced in English‐speaking countries during the mid-20th century as a distinctive alternative to Joanna. In the United States its popularity peaked in the early 1960s—with more than 600 newborns given the name in 1963 (ranked 372)—and has since declined to fewer than 20 annual occurrences and a ranking near 935 in 2024. Pronounced JAH-nuh (/dʒɑˈnə/) in American English and JON-uh (/dʒɒnə/) in British English, Johnna appeals to parents drawn to its classical Latin heritage and understated modern variation.
