Jovannie is a rare modern name that first appeared in U.S. birth records in 1984. It is a creative variant of Giovanni, the Italian form of John, meaning 'God is gracious.' The name saw its peak usage in 2010, after which its popularity has remained stable but very low. It has not been consistently recorded in any particular state, suggesting its use is scattered across the country. The trajectory of the name shows no dramatic rise or fall, making it an uncommon but steady choice for parents seeking a distinctive name with Italian roots.
Jovannie appears to be a creative spelling or elaboration of Giovanni, the Italian form of John, which derives from the Hebrew Yohanan meaning 'God is gracious.'

Its usage has remained rare, with a peak in 2010.
