Jeovanni is Italian in Origin.

Jeovanni is a modern Hispanic respelling of Giovanni, the Italian form of John. Ultimately it derives from Hebrew Yohanan (“Yahweh is gracious”), transmitted through Greek Ioannes and Latin Iohannes to Italian Giovanni. The initial Jeo-/Geo- alternation reflects Spanish and Portuguese orthographic patterns and the tendency in Latino communities to adapt Italian names to Spanish phonology while preserving their flair.

In use mainly since the late 20th century in the United States, Mexico, Central America, and the Caribbean, Jeovanni appears alongside close variants such as Geovanni, Jovanni, Jovani, Giovany, Geovany, Jhovanny, and Yovanny; the base form Giovanni remains widespread. Cognates include Spanish Juan and Portuguese João. Common nicknames are Gio, Geo, Vanni, and Jovi. Across all spellings, the meaning is consistent: “God is gracious,” a message that has supported the name’s appeal for baptismal and secular use alike.
