Giovanni

Giovanni is a male Italian given name (from Latin:Iohannes), the Italian equivalent of John. Giovanni is occasionally spelled Geovanni, Giovonnie or Giovannie; however, this deviates from the original Italian, and, in this manner, is made a unisex name (i.e. the actress Giovonnie Samuels). Giovanni can be a surname as well.
