Guys, this name doesn’t mean young (person/people), it’s just similar to the word! The words “giovani” and “giovane” are pronounced differently so when speaking Italian you can tell the difference between young and Giovanni.

In Italian the name Giovanni means John but in most other places in the world including the united states, Giovanni is a common form of Frederick/Fredrick.
Hate to rain on your parade again, but it's not. I wonder where you get your information. There is, however, the Italian word “giovane”, which _does_ mean young man or woman.
