Giovonni is an American spelling of Giovanni, the Italian form of John, which comes from the Hebrew Yochanan and means "God is gracious" or "Yahweh is gracious". Giovanni belongs to Boccaccio, Bellini and Mozart's Don Giovanni; the many US spellings, from Geovanni to Jovani, show how the name spread beyond Italian American families into Hispanic and African American ones. Giovonni stood at number 3240 in 2000, peaked at number 1994 in 2005 and ranks number 2523 in 2025.
