History & Origin
Joeanna is a spelling of Joanna, 'God is gracious', that breaks the name into the readable Joe and Anna. Recorded from the late 1800s onward and reaching a small high near the mid-1980s, it was always rare, given to only a couple dozen girls a year, with the standard Joanna far outpacing it.
Because the respelling stayed uncommon, a Joeanna could be anywhere from a grandmother to a young adult, depending on the record. Anyone drawn to the sound today almost always chooses the classic Joanna or Johanna spelling; Jo and Anna are the built-in short forms.
