About Johana
Johana is a feminine name that serves as a variation of Johanna, which is the feminine form of John. With Hebrew origins, it carries the beautiful meaning "God is gracious." This spelling variant removes one 'n' from the traditional Johanna, giving it a slightly more streamlined appearance while maintaining its classical essence. Johana is particularly popular in Czech Republic, Slovakia, and Spanish-speaking countries. While less common than Johanna in English-speaking regions, its international appeal and biblical connections make it an elegant, timeless choice. The name offers the cute nickname options of Jo, Jojo, or Hana, adding to its versatility.
Johana is also given to boys.
Pronounced jo-AH-nuh.
As of October 2026, Johana ranked #9504 in US births in 1994 SSA, peaked at #8107 in 1993.
