Juaniza is a rare Spanish-language feminine given name built on Juan - Spanish from Latin Iohannes, ultimately Hebrew Yohanan - meaning “God/Yahweh is gracious.” The -iza ending functions as an expressive feminine suffix in Iberian and Latin American naming, producing an elaborated counterpart to Juana and the diminutive Juanita. As such, Juaniza carries the long-standing biblical grace meaning of the John/Joan family while offering a modern, lilting twist.
