What is the meaning of the name Pieranna ?

The baby name Pieranna is a Female name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced /pjɛrˈanna/ (approx. 'pyer-AHN-nah').

Pieranna is Italian in Origin.

Pieranna is an Italian compound given name formed from Piera (the feminine of Piero/Pietro, ultimately from Greek Petros, "stone, rock") and Anna (from Hebrew Channah, "grace, favor"). Together it conveys ideas such as "grace set on a rock," "steadfast grace," or "gracious rock," blending solidity with benevolence.

It appears sporadically in Italian records from the late 19th and early 20th centuries, especially where Pier- names are traditional, and persists among families with Italian roots abroad. Usage remains uncommon and often reflects a taste for devotional or family-combining names. Variants include the hyphenated Pier-Anna and the spaced Pier Anna; related forms are Piera, Pierina, and Anna, with everyday diminutives like Piera, Anna, Annina, or Nina. Parallel cross-linguistic equivalents sometimes appear as Petra-Anna or Pietra Anna, built on the same roots. Name days may be observed on feasts of St. Peter (for the Pier- element) or St. Anne, depending on local custom.
