Meaning and background
The story behind Giana
Giana is a modern English spelling variant of Gianna rather than a separate old Italian root. Sources record more than one English pronunciation, so marking one as universally correct would be too definite. Gianna connects to Giovanna and the larger John name family, but the derivation belongs to that chain of forms. The one-n spelling is useful to preserve because it is exactly what appears in this catalogue.
