Joanna is a feminine given name deriving fromKoinē Greek:Ἰωάννα,romanized: Iōanna fromHebrew:יוֹחָנָה,romanized: Yôḥānāh,lit. 'God is gracious'. Variants in English includeJoan, Joann,Joanne, andJohanna. Other forms of the name in English areJan,Jane,Janet,Janice,Jean, andJeanne.

The earliest recorded occurrence of the name Joanna, inLuke 8:3, refers to the disciple "Joanna the wife of Chuza," who was an associate ofMary Magdalene. Her name as given is Greek in form, although it ultimately originated from the Hebrew masculine name יְהוֹחָנָןYəhôḥānān or יוֹחָנָןYôḥānān meaning 'God is gracious'. In Greek this name became ΙωαννηςIōannēs, from whichIōanna was derived by giving it a feminine ending. The name Joanna, like Yehohanan, was associated withHasmonean families.[1] Saint Joanna was culturallyHellenized, thus bearing the Grecian adaptation of a Jewish name, as was commonly done in hermilieu.[2]

At the beginning of the Christian era, the names Iōanna and Iōannēs were already common inJudea.[3] The nameJoanna and its equivalents became popular for women "all at once" beginning in the 12th century inNavarre and the south of France.[4] In England, the name did not become current until the 19th century.[5]

The original Latin formJoanna was used in English to translate the equivalents in other languages; for example,Juana la Loca is known in English as Joanna the Mad. The variant formJohanna originated in Latin in the Middle Ages, by analogy with the Latin masculine nameJohannes. The Greek form lacks a medial-h- because inGreek /h/ could only occur initially.

The Hebrew name יוֹחָנָהYôḥānāh forms a feminine equivalent in Hebrew for the name Joanna and its variants. The Christian Arabic form of John is يوحنّاYūḥannā, based on theJudeo-Aramaic form of the name. For Joanna, Arabic translations of the Bible use يونّاYuwannā based on Syriac ܝܘܚܢYoanna, which in turn is based on the Greek formIōanna.

Sometimes in modern EnglishJoanna is reinterpreted as a compound of the two names Jo and Anna, and therefore given a spelling like JoAnna, Jo-Anna, or Jo Anna. However, the original name Joanna is a single unit, not a compound. The namesHannah,Anna, Anne, Ann are etymologically related to Joanna just the same: they are derived from Hebrew חַנָּהḤannāh 'grace' from the same verbal root meaning 'to be gracious'.
