Jovanna

Pronounced jo-VAN-uh

girl

Not found in the KJV text — No — the name Jovanna does not appear in the King James Bible. Christian families use it for its meaning, "God is gracious", and for the biblical themes that meaning touches, not because anyone in Scripture is called Jovanna.

Meaning: "God is gracious"
Origin: Hebrew/Latin

Jovanna is a feminine form of John, meaning 'God is gracious.' Grace is the heartbeat of the gospel — undeserved favor freely given. From Noah finding grace in God's eyes to the grace poured out through Christ, this divine attribute defines our salvation and daily sustenance.

Spiritual meaning

Jovanna celebrates the overflowing grace of God — grace upon grace, sufficient for every need, freely given to every believer.

Questions about biblical name meanings

How do I find the biblical meaning of a name?

Type the name into the search box above. The tool returns the Hebrew, Greek, Aramaic, or Latin root behind the name, its literal meaning, and the King James Version passages where it appears.

Does every name have a biblical meaning?

No. Many modern Christian names never appear in Scripture, and some popular 'biblical meanings' circulating online are inaccurate. Where a name is thematic rather than scriptural, we say so plainly instead of inventing a verse for it.

Which Bible translation do the verses come from?

The King James Version. It is public domain in the United States, so the text can be quoted and shared freely.

How can I tell whether a name is actually in the Bible?

Each result distinguishes a name that appears in the KJV from a later Christian or thematic name. Related verses explain a theme; they are not presented as proof that a modern name occurs in Scripture.
