Gioconda is an Italian given name derived from the feminine form of 'giocondo', meaning 'happy'. It gained popularity in Italy during the late Middle Ages, inspired by the works of Giovanni Boccaccio who used it in his collection of tales, the 'Decameron'. The name has been associated with art and culture throughout history. Notably, the famous Italian Renaissance painter Leonardo da Vinci immortalized this name through his iconic portrait, the 'Mona Lisa', whose subject is believed to have been named Lisa Gioconda.
"Gioconda saw a spike in births between 1915 and 1921, with an average of 5 births per year during this period. However, there was no recorded birth for the years between 1917 to 1920 or from 1922 onwards until 1990 when another 5 babies were named Gioconda. Overall, there have been a total of 22 births with this name."
