Iancarlo is an Italian masculine given name, derived from the name John, which means 'God is gracious'. It is composed of two elements: 'Ianko', a diminutive of Giovanni (Italian for John), and '-carlo', meaning 'freeholder' or 'strong'. This name gained popularity in Italy during the Middle Ages and has since been used throughout Europe. It is considered a classic yet distinct Italian name, offering a unique twist on the traditional John.
