What does the name Giannah mean?
Giannah is a spelling of Gianna, pronounced the same way, so it shares Gianna's meaning and origin.
Gianna is an Italian woman's name and a short form of Giovanna, the feminine of Giovanni (John). It is also used in Greek (Γιάννα). So, like Jane, it goes back to the Hebrew name Yohanan, explained as 'God is gracious'. Wiktionary calls Gianna and Jane doublets, meaning the same name reached English twice by different routes.
יוֹחָנָן (Biblical Hebrew, “Yohanan, perhaps from Yehohanan 'God is gracious'”)
