Name Meaning
From the Latin form, Io(h)anna, of Greek Iōanna, the feminine equivalent of Iōannēs ( see John ). In the New Testament, this name is borne by a woman who was one of Jesus's followers (Luke 8:3; 24:10). She was the wife of the steward of the household of King Herod Antipas. The name was regularly used throughout the Middle Ages in most parts of Europe as a feminine equivalent of John , but in England it has only been in common use as a vernacular given name since the 19th century. Celebrated British bearers of the name include the novelist Joanna Trollope ( b. 1943 ), the actress Joanna Lumley ( b. 1946 ), and the concert pianist Joanna McGregor ( b. 1959 ).
