Giannis

Giannis is a masculine name of Greek origin, derived from the name Ioannis, which is the Greek form of the Hebrew name Yohanan, meaning 'God is gracious'.

The name Ioannis was borne by several biblical figures, including John the Baptist and John the Apostle, which contributed to its popularity among Greek-speaking Christians.

The name Giannis is a common diminutive or shortened form of Ioannis, used in Greece and other Greek-speaking regions.

While it is primarily a masculine name, there have been rare instances of Giannis being used as a feminine name as well.
