The Italian feminine of Giovanni (John), ultimately from Hebrew 'Yochanan' meaning 'God is gracious.' Shares the John root rather than the Hannah root.
A place name borrowed from the Italian island of Capri in the Bay of Naples. The island's own name is of disputed origin (possibly Greek 'kapros', wild boar, or Latin 'capreae', goats). Used as a given name it evokes the glamorous Mediterranean island rather than a fixed personal meaning.
Giovanna and Capri are given to a similar number of US babies today.
