Ionian; Greek
Javani is a variant of the Hebrew name Javan, which refers to the fourth son of Japheth in the Bible. Historically, it was the Hebrew word used to describe the Greeks or the land of Ionia. In modern usage, it is often chosen for its rhythmic, melodic sound and its connection to ancient Mediterranean geography.
