Meaning: God is gracious; Gate to heaven

Giana is a Greek and Italian name for girls of Latin origin. This name translates to “God is gracious” and is a short form of the traditional Italian name Giovanna which in turn is a form of John. Giana's Latin roots diverge to reveal its additional meaning, "gate to heaven," from the Latin Janus. Giana can be viewed as a chic take on tradition, giving way to equally stylish nicknames like Gia or Gigi.
