Meaning and etymology
Wiktionary lists Giavanna as a female given name from Italian but gives it no etymology of its own. The Italian name it answers to is Giovanna, which Behind the Name calls the "Italian form of Iohanna (see Joanna), making it the feminine form of Giovanni" — the Italian John. The step from Giavanna to Giovanna is this site's reading of a spelling change, not a claim a source makes.
