Giana Maria was the name of St. Angela Merici’s sister who died in childhood; while this spelling might be predominantly used as a modern English name, it was used to some extent in medieval Italy.
Usages: English (American)Meaning: Variant spelling of Gianna. In some cases it might also be an Americanized form of Giàna.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giana_RobergeNote: This form of Gianna doesn't seem to be used in Italy https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gianni It seems that the American usage might be mistaking the Italian name Giana for a variant of Gianna or, less likely, consider it a simplified spelling ot the Emilian-Romagnol Giàna(Information from name #22256 originally submitted by an anonymous user)
