Will you pronounce Gianna the traditional way or do you have some other pronounciation in mind?


The traditional way.


Definitely Gianna then. Jiana will be pronounced “Gee-Ahn-Ah” three syllables instead of “Gian-na” (two syllables).


This is a polite way of saying that most Americans mispronounce Gianna. Same with problem with Giovanni.


Are you Italian? I mean really born and at least partly raised in Italy? If not then, please shut it. If so, I beg your pardon and apologize profusely for all of the unenlightened Americans you must endure. It must be awful.

In Italian, Gianna is pronounced “JON-uh.” The “Gi” sounds like /j/.
Giovanni: Juh-VON-ee

Same problem with Giovanni. 3 syllables, not 4.

Oh, shut up! Marriage is not required to be a couple or a family.


Sure. But he gets less rights if not married.

"Jiana" is super trashy, just terrible.

Your boyfriend didn't go to college, right?

What? They’re both pronounced the same—Jee-Ah-Nuh. But Jiana just looks janky compared to Gianna.

+1 I don't like either, but if you're set on this name spell it with a G.

Huh??? For me, the traditional pronunciation of Gianna is gee-AH-nuh. And if I saw Jiana I would actually think it's a weird Spanish name and pronounce it he-AH-nuh, but just realized it could rhyme with Diana.


Gianna is an Italian name, pronounced more like two syllables instead of three.


Sorry, In the US, she’s going to get gee-AH-na.
Regardless, it’s beautiful pronounced both ways, OP. And you win with the spelling. Jiana is silly.
