- English and Polish form of Latin Iohanna, which was derived from Greek Ιωαννα (Ioanna) , the feminine form of Ioannes (see John). This is the name of a follower of Jesus in the New Testament. In the Middle Ages in England it was used as a Latinized form of Joan, and it became common as an English given name in the 19th century. Joanna is a variant of Joan. Joan originates in Hebrew language and means "God is merciful". It is a feminine form of John and as a female name has been used since the 17th century.
