Johnni is in Origin.
Johnni is a modern diminutive of John, from Hebrew Yochanan meaning "God is gracious". The -ni and -nie/-ny diminutive patterns became established in English and across northern Europe; the specific spelling Johnni appears in Scandinavian records - especially Danish and Norwegian - while Icelandic has the related Jónni from Jón. It also occurs in English-speaking countries as an alternative to Johnny/Johnnie. Predominantly masculine, it sees occasional unisex use.
As a given name, Johnni rose in the 20th century when nickname forms were adopted as stand-alone names. Close variants include Johnny, Johnnie, Jonny, Jonni, and Joni; related formal names are John, Johan, Johannes, and Jón. Cross-language cognates of the root include Sean, Ian, Evan, Jean, Jan, Juan, Giovanni, Ivan, and Ioan. The spelling with final -i lends a contemporary, streamlined look while preserving the timeless, benevolent meaning associated with the John family.
