Giana
Girl name · 3 babies recorded · 1974–2025
Giana: 3 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 3 births in 2023.
Giana is primarily an Italian feminine name, a shorter form of Gianna, which itself derives from the Hebrew name Yochanan, meaning "God is gracious." Though less common in Scotland, it carries the same elegant feel as its more popular relative, Gianna. Famous bearers include actress Giana Darling, and socialite Giana Riley, both known in the US rather than Scotland. The name shares its root with the classic Scottish name Jane, making it a stylish choice for parents seeking a modern twist. Place-wise, the etymology connects indirectly to places like St John's Town of Dalry in Scotland, though Giana itself has no direct geographic link. This melodic name remains a fresh alternative to the wildly popular Olivia or Sophia south of the border.
