What does the name Ivanna mean?
Ivanna is the Ukrainian Іванна, a feminine form of Ivan, the Slavic form of John. John goes back through Greek Iōannēs to Hebrew Yochanan, "God is gracious," which DMNES glosses "graced by God." Wiktionary calls Ivanna a doublet of Jane, since both are feminine forms of the same name. Ivana, with one n, is a closely related form. Ivan itself is the Russian and Ukrainian form of John and is used across the Slavic languages.
