Gianny, of Italian origin, is a unisex name that has gained popularity worldwide, especially in Europe and Latin America. It is derived from the Italian word 'giano', which means 'of Janus'. Janus, the Roman god of doors and gates, was known for his two faces, symbolizing transitions and beginnings. Gianny therefore signifies new beginnings or passages, making it an apt choice for parents seeking a meaningful name for their child.
The name Gianny experienced fluctuations in popularity over the years, with a noticeable spike in usage between 2007 and 2012, reaching its peak in 2012 with 20 births. However, it appears to have declined somewhat thereafter, though it remains steadily used with an average of around 8-12 births per year since then.
