Vanya originated as a Russian diminutive for Ivan or Ioann, the Slavic forms of John. While traditionally a masculine nickname in Russia, it has transitioned to a feminine given name in English-speaking countries and parts of Europe. It shares the same etymological root as Jane and Joanna, ultimately deriving from the Hebrew name Yochanan.
