Ohanne is Armenian in Origin.

Ohanne is a rare Armenian given name, best understood as a Latin-script variant of Ohannes/Hovhannes - the Armenian form of John, from Hebrew Yochanan meaning “Yahweh is gracious.” The initial O- and terminal -e reflect Western Armenian and Levantine transliteration habits found in Ottoman-era documents and in the 19th–20th‑century diaspora.

Usage clusters around Armenian communities in the Eastern Mediterranean, the Caucasus, and abroad; while the exact spelling Ohanne is uncommon, its root has deep currency, borne by numerous Armenian church leaders titled Hovhannes/Ohannes and echoed in surnames like Ohanyan/Ohanian. Close variants and diminutives include Ohannes, Ohanes, Hovhannes, Hovhan, and Ohan; related international cognates are Ioannes/Ioan, Johannes/Johan, Jean, Juan, Giovanni, Ivan, Ian, Sean, and Yohan. Feminine counterparts include Johanna and the Armenian Hovhanoush. Overall, Ohanne carries the enduring biblical sense of divine favor and grace.
