What is the meaning of the name Geonna ?

Geonna is English in Origin.

Geonna is a modern English given name, typically pronounced jee-AH-nuh or jee-ON-uh. It most plausibly arises as a phonetic respelling of Gianna/Jeanna, the Italian and French diminutive forms of Giovanna/Jeanne, themselves feminine equivalents of John. Through this line it ultimately derives from the Hebrew Yochanan, meaning “Yahweh is gracious” or “God is gracious.” The Geo- opening reflects contemporary styling rather than any link to “geo-” (earth).

Use of Geonna is rare and largely North American, emerging in late-20th-century records during the broader popularity of Gianna and related forms; it is uncommon in traditional Italian registers. Related variants and spellings include Gianna, Giana, Gionna, Jeanna, Geana, Geena, and Geona. Diminutives or short forms can be Gia, Gigi, or Anna. Some may associate it with Italian Giona (Jonah), but modern usage treats Geonna chiefly as a Gianna-based variant.
