About the name Geovani
Wiktionary records Geovane as a borrowing of the Italian Giovanni, a doublet of João, Ivan and Jean, and includes Geovani and Geovanni among the alternative forms. In the Giovanni entry, it traces the name from Latin Iōhannēs to Greek Ἰωάννης and to Biblical Hebrew Yôḥānān, 'Yahweh is gracious'; Behind the Name gives the roots Yahweh and ḥanan. The meaning is therefore that of the base name João. In the 2022 Census, IBGE recorded 27,307 people named Geovani, with a median age of 29, and the name is almost always male. The Dicionário de Nomes em Uso no Brasil (Dictionary of Names in Use in Brazil) lists Geovani and Geovanni among the spelling variants of Geovane.
