John Origin and Meaning
The name John is a girl's name meaning "God is gracious".
As popular as James may be getting as a girls' middle name, we don't see John finding the same favor. There were five baby girls named John last year, with 33 named Johnnie,17 named Johnna, and eight called Johnni.
Johnnie is the only one we can see becoming much more popular for girls, along with trending Boy Nicknames for Girls names such as Frankie and Stevie.
