What is the meaning of the name giana ?

The baby name giana is a Female name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced JEE-AH-nuh (English), JAH-nah (Italian) — IPA: /dʒiˈɑːnə/.

giana is Italian in Origin.

Giana is an Italian-rooted feminine name, a streamlined spelling of Gianna, itself a pet form of Giovanna, the Italian feminine of Giovanni (John). Through Latin Iohannes and Greek Ioannes, it ultimately derives from the Hebrew Yochanan, meaning “God is gracious.” In contemporary use, Giana typically sounds like jee-AH-nah, preserving the three-syllable cadence of its Italian source while offering a sleeker, modern look with a single n.

While Giovanna and Gianna have long histories in Italy, Giana gained traction more recently in English-speaking countries, showing steady use in the United States from the 1990s onward. Its rise paralleled the popularity of Gianna, boosted in part by devotion to Saint Gianna Beretta Molla and broader interest in Italian names. Related forms and cognates include Gianna, Giovanna, Gia, Jiana, Joanna, Johanna, Jane, Jeanne, Ivana, Siobhan, and Sinead; diminutives like Gia or Nina also occur.
