Nanni is Italian in Origin.
Nanni is a unisex diminutive found across Europe. In Italy it is chiefly a pet form of Giovanni, meaning “God is gracious” from Hebrew Yohanan; it also survives as a family name. Noted bearers include the Renaissance sculptor Nanni di Banco and contemporary filmmaker Nanni Moretti. In German- and Scandinavian-speaking contexts, Nanni serves as a familiar short form of Anna, Johanna, or Hanna, all tied to the Hebrew root for favor or grace. Records show the name in Tuscan parish registers by the late Middle Ages and for girls in 19th‑century German usage.
Variants and related forms include Italian Gianni, Vanni, and Nino (from Giovanni), plus Hanni, Anni, Nanna, and Nanette/Nannette from the Anna/Johanna line. Close spellings Nani and Nanny appear in other languages but may carry different meanings. Overall, Nanni conveys a warm, affectionate tone linked to divine grace.
