ArchivesRe: Combine the name of Johannes and Baptista
in reply to a message by sogfrk
In Italian, possible forms are Giovanbattista, or the contracted Giambattista (sometimes used as short form of the previous). A nn is Giamba.
I've never heard the other two forms mentioned by Joiya here below - Zuanbattista seems some archaic, regional form; and Ivano Battista is just weird. The name Ivano does exist in Italia, but the regular form of John, associated with John the Baptist, is Giovanni.
