What is the meaning of the name Vano ?

The baby name Vano is a Male name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced VAH-no (IPA: /ˈvɑno/).

Vano is Georgian in Origin.

Vano is a Georgian masculine name (ვანო), a familiar form of Ivane/Ioane - the Georgian equivalents of John - ultimately from Hebrew Yohanan, meaning “God is gracious.” In the Caucasus it often functions as an affectionate nickname that has become established as an independent given name; Armenians and other regional communities also use Vano as a pet form for their John-derived names.

Well attested since the 19th–20th centuries, Vano remains common in Georgia, aided by the prominence of figures such as tenor Vano Sarajishvili and politician Vano Merabishvili. Close variants and cognates include Georgian Ivane and Ioane; Slavic Ivan and diminutive Vanya; Italian Ivano; English John and Ian; Welsh Evan; Irish Seán; Scottish Iain; and Spanish Juan. Compact yet traditional, Vano preserves its core sense of divine favor and grace while offering an approachable, two-syllable style that travels well beyond its Georgian roots.
