Additional Information:

This is my sister's first name. She's named after my grandfather, who was John. Very simple name, just add "na" sound after John. Surprisingly, people can't seem to get it right. It is NOT pronounced "joe-na" like someone else posted.

Type of Name:

First name

Language:

Irish-American

Gender:

Female

Alternate Spelling(s):

NONE. Incorrect spellings such as Joanna, Johanna, and Joanna are what causes the confusion.

Meaning:

God is Gracious

Additional Information:

Johnna is the feminine namesake for John, just as Donna is the feminine namesake for Don and Roberta is the feminine namesake for Robert.

The trick to pronouncing Johnna properly is to divide the word's two syllables correctly. It is not "JOH-nna' which would imply the first syllable ends with a long sound. The correct way to divide the two syllables is between the double consonant as in JOHN-na.

JOHN nuh... Rhymes with Donna. The "o" is short as in "on" not long as in "over". Say the name John just you normally would and then add "nuh" at the end.
