Gionny is of Italian origin, derived from the Latin 'Iohannes', meaning 'God is gracious'. It's a variant of Giovanni, which has been popular among Italians for centuries due to its association with historic figures like the Renaissance artist Giovanni Bellini.
Gionny was quite popular among parents from 2011 to 2014 with a peak in 2013, but its popularity declined afterwards as there were no reported births between 2015 and 2017. It made a comeback in 2018 with five births. Overall, Gionny has been the name of choice for 34 newborns over this period.
