The story of Geovanny
Giovanni has been among the most-used Italian men's names for a thousand years, and Italian emigration carried it across Latin America as well as to the United States. Spanish speakers needed a spelling that would produce the Italian sound, and several solutions appeared at once — Geovanny, Geovanni, Jovanny, Yovani. They are all the same name, and all of them are current in Central American and Mexican records.
Meaning
God is gracious
From Hebrew Yohanan through Latin Iohannes; Italian made Giovanni, and Spanish-speaking families respelled it in several ways because Spanish gi is a hard g and its j is a throat sound.

- counting every spelling
The SSA counts spellings, not names. Geovanny went to 34 boys in 2025, but Geovanni, Geovani and Geovany are the same name said out loud. Together the 4 spellings went to 157, which makes it the 771st most-given boys’ name of the year — 2,608 places above the chart.
About 1 boy in 10,879 born in 2025 was given one of these spellings — against 1 in 50,238 for Geovanny itself.
Spellings are grouped by a fixed rule that folds interchangeable English spellings of one sound (ck/k, ph/f, x/ks, a non-initial y for i) and keeps vowels apart, so Sean and Shawn stay separate names. It errs towards splitting: a family here is never larger than the truth. SSA national data, 2025. Method
