Ionanna is Greek in Origin.

Ionanna appears to be a modern fusion of the Greek Ioanna and the classic Anna. Ioanna, the Greek feminine form of John (Ioannes), derives from Hebrew Yohanan, 'Yahweh is gracious.' Anna is the Latinized form of Hebrew Hannah, meaning 'grace' or 'favor.' Combined, Ionanna layers these ideas into 'abundant grace' or 'God is gracious with favor.' The roots are time-honored: Ioanna figures in Byzantine and Eastern Orthodox tradition, while Anna is widespread and associated with Saint Anne.

As a given name, Ionanna is rare and contemporary, aligning with current blend-name styles and appealing to families who wish to honor both Ioanna and Anna or bridge Greek and international heritage. Related forms include Ioanna, Ioana (Romanian), Joanna, Johanna, Ivana, Anna/Ana, and Hannah/Hanna. Possible nicknames are Iona, Io, Nanna, Nana, Ana, Yana, and Anya.
