Ivanna

Girl name · 8 babies recorded · 1974–2025

Ivanna: 8 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 5 births in 2018.

Of Slavic origin, Ivanna is the feminine form of Ivan, itself derived from the Hebrew Yohanan, meaning "God is gracious." It is the Ukrainian, Russian, and Belarusian equivalent of Jane, Joanna, or Johanna, and shares its roots with the Scottish name Iona, which comes from the same Hebrew source. The most famous bearer is Ivanna Trump, the Czech-born former model and businesswoman who was the first wife of Donald Trump. The name also appears in the Harry Potter series as Ivanna, a minor character. While no major places are directly named after a bearer, the name shares its etymological root with the Scottish island of Iona, a site of early Christian pilgrimage. A notable variant is the Scottish Gaelic form, Siobhán, which is pronounced "shi-vawn."
