Origin of the name Giovanni:

The Italian cognate of John (God is gracious), which is derived from the Middle Latin Johannes, an evolution of the Ecclesiastic Late Latin Joannes.

The name is borne in the Bible by several important characters, including John the Baptist, a kinsman and forerunner of Christ.
