Gianpiero, of Italian origin, is derived from the Latin 'Johannes', meaning 'God is gracious'. It is a variant spelling of Giovanni, which has been popular in Italy since the Middle Ages. Gianpiero was particularly favored during the Renaissance and continues to be used today. The name consists of two parts: 'Gian' (a familiar form of John) and 'piero', meaning 'stone'. This results in the literal translation of Gianpiero as "John is stone".
The name Gianpiero has seen varying popularity over the years, with peaks in usage in 2003 and 2007-2008, but remains relatively uncommon overall.
