Gianna Name Meaning

A gorgeous Italian pick with a sweet and spicy feel, Gianna has been heating up the charts with her Mediterranean vibes since the 1990s. She’s a shortened form of the grand Giovanna, bringing all the drama of her longer variant in a smaller package.

Parents adore her sound and nickname potential, Gia and Nina just two choices of many. If you’re looking for something extra cute, Gigi may satisfy your sweet tooth. She’s right at home among the -ianna name craze, as names like Arianna, Brianna, and Julianna all keep her company on the charts.

While she has seen a spike in popularity, she’s still remarkably fresh, never reaching the point of overuse. She is international but easy to spell and say, rarely running into much trouble on the go. She’s a worldly pick, ripe with culture, always turning heads with her flash of style. Whether she’s wandering the streets of Milan or sipping on a sweet tea in Savannah, Gianna fits in with local styles yet has her own unique sense of self.

Gianna is the ultimate trendsetter, blazing through fashions before they hit the mainstream. She’s confident in herself, never shying away from trying something new. At the same time, she’s sweet as can be, never coming across too over-the-top or flashy.

I think it’s a beautiful name and all my girls names end with an A. So I figured it would fit perfect! I have 4 boys and 4 girls and she was my last baby and I was just looking through baby names and found it and loved it and so does her dad! Her name is Gianna Natalie ?

I knew I wanted my baby’s name to mean, “God is gracious,” but I also knew I didn’t want a super common name. One day, the name “Gia” popped into my head, and when I decided to google the name, Gianna came up. That name is also Kobe Bryant’s daughter, and I’m a huge Kobe fan, so the rest is history.

Her name means “God is gracious” and is beautiful and unique without being too far out there.

Gianna is our gift from God and answer to prayer after 7 years of infertility.

We’re so thankful for her life and health!!
Praise God for He’s been so gracious and kind to us!!

We wanted to name her after Saint Gianna, Beretta Molla, who was a pediatric doctor in Italy that gave her life for her baby after having a complicated pregnancy. At the time doctors told her that if she were to carry this baby , she would most likely die, but she chose to maintain her pregnancy regardless and ultimately gave her life for her baby who was born healthy and lives on to tell her mother’s story today.

Im we chose the name Gianna because it was a G name and it sounds similar to my own name, Georgina. Both my husband and I have G names and would like for all our children to have G names as well. We think it’s adorable.

At first it was really difficult to find the right name all We knew was that we wanted a sweet name for our baby. We actually didn’t have a name at the hospital after labor. We were looking for different options but neither of us would agree on the same name. Gianna was one of the names we were considering but we didn’t agree on it yet. While my baby’s father was on the way to the hospital I kept thinking the baby looked Gianna would fit her so nice after seeing her and the baby’s dead got to the hospital and told me I think we should name the baby Gianna and that’s how we named her. Gianna Bella is her middle name.
