History & Origin

Gianelle is a modern blend rather than an inherited name. Its base is Gianna, the Italian feminine of Giovanni, which descends from Hebrew Yochanan, 'God is gracious' - the same name that gives John, Jean, Juan and Ivan. Its ending is the French -elle, familiar from Danielle, Michelle and Gabrielle. The blend has spread among Italian-American and Latin American families; its route is modern, which we note honestly (said 'jee-uh-NEL').

It appears only in very small numbers in the U.S. Rare, bright, and blend-built.

Did you know? Gianna is the Italian form of the name behind John - Hebrew Yochanan, 'God is gracious' - and Gianelle dresses it in a French ending.
