Giovani is a simplified spelling of Giovanni, the Italian form of John, which comes from the Hebrew Yochanan and means "God is gracious". The single-n version is favored in Spanish-speaking families, where the Italian name has been popular for a generation. Giovani entered the top 1000 in 2002, peaked at number 503 in 2011, slipped out again after 2016 and ranks number 1312 in 2025.
