Can anyone give me some background on this name? It is my SIL's name and I want to incorporate it's meaning into a Christmas gift idea, but I can't find a reference to it. Thanks!

BTW: it's prn. GEE-uh-NEE-nuh

Pretty name! Giannina would be a pet form of Gianna, which is the Italian female version of John.

The meaning of John is "God is gracious."

Cool! My parents top two choices for my sister were Giannina and Gianna. They went with Gianna.
