'''Johanna''' is a feminine name, a variant form of [Joanna](/source/Joanna) that originated in Latin in the Middle Ages, including an -h- by analogy with the Latin masculine name [Johannes](/source/Johannes). The original Greek form ''Iōanna'' lacks a medial /h/ because in Greek [/h/](/source/Spiritus_asper) could only occur initially. For more information on the name's origin, see the article on [Joanna](/source/Joanna).
