Origin: Italian

Meaning: God is gracious

Gianny is a masculine name of Italian origin, meaning "God is gracious." It derives from Greek Ioannes and, in turn, Hebrew Yochanan or John. In the Christian New Testament, John is one of Jesus' closest confidants and played a key role in the early Christian Church. He was also a brilliant writer and leader. While Gianni has been around since the 1960s, this y-ending respelling is just getting started! Baby Gianny will adore their name’s relaxed feel and the spirit of kindness and camaraderie it celebrates.
