Gio

Italan short form of Giovanna

"God's gracious gift"

Gio Origin and Meaning

The name Gio is a girl's name meaning "God's gracious gift".

Gio is a cute, more androgynous variation of Gia that could work well as a nickname for names such as Giovanna, Giordana, or Giorgia. It was chosen by Adam Levine and Behati Prinsloo for their daughter in 2018.

Giovanna is of course the Italian feminine form of John, so Gio could be a very dashing way to honor a familial John.
