Gracious; father of the sky
Jovanni is a modern American variant of the Italian name Giovanni, which is the equivalent of John. It also draws phonetic influence from Jove, the name of the Roman king of gods, also known as Jupiter. This blend gives the name both a traditional religious foundation and a touch of mythological grandeur.
