If baby is your saving grace, then consider this divine choice. Giovana is a feminine Italian name, meaning “God is gracious.” Giovana is a subtle respelling of Giovanna, which in turn derives from the Hebrew name John. Connecting baby to their faith will be easy with this heavenly name, and will also teach your little cherub about what it means to be gracious, kind, and loving. You might also recognize this name from the Brazilian professional soccer player Giovana Queiroz.
