Jonni is a versatile name that functions as both a masculine and feminine name across different cultures. As a masculine name, it's primarily a Finnish and Estonian variant of John, derived from Hebrew meaning 'God is gracious.' In English-speaking countries, it sometimes appears as a creative spelling of Johnny, the diminutive of John. As a feminine name, it can be a variant of Joni, itself a feminine form of John or Jonathan.
