Joanne

Joanne, an English iteration of the French Jeanne, means 'God is gracious'. It was particularly popular from the 1930s through to the 1960s and evokes a nostalgic charm. Notably, it was the name of singer-songwriter Lady Gaga, born Stefani Joanne Germanotta. While it has faded somewhat from the peak of its popularity, Joanne still holds appeal for those who appreciate a name with a classic sound. Jo, Jojo, and Annie are affectionate nicknames that can bring a more modern twist to this enduring name.
