Joanne (alternate spellings Joann, Jo Ann, Johann, Johanne, Jo-Ann, Jo-Anne) is a common given name for females, being a variant of Joanna, the feminine form of John; derived from the Latin name Johanna with the meaning in Hebrew of "God is gracious". In Northern Ireland of 1975, "Joanne" was the most frequently used name for female newborns, though by the early years of the 21st Century, the name had declined in popularity so that it could not be counted among the twenty most frequently used. Sometimes in modern English ''Joanne'' is reinterpreted as a compound of the two names Jo and Anne, and therefore given a spelling like JoAnne, Jo-Anne, or Jo Anne. However, the original name Joanna in ancient Greek and Latin is a single unit, not a compound. The names Hannah, Anna, Anne, Ann are etymologically related to ''Joanne'' just the same: they are derived from Hebrew חַנָּה ''(unicode:Ḥannāh)'' 'grace' from the same verbal root meaning 'to be gracious'. In the United Kingdom, its popularity peaked during the 1970s, when it was frequently among the 10 most popular female names. However, by the 1980s it had fallen out of the top 10 and by 1994 it wasn't even in the top 100.〔()〕 ==People with the given name Joanne== * Joanne Accom, pop singer from Melbourne, Australia * Joanne Banning, Australian field hockey player * Joanne Brackeen, American jazz pianist * Joanne Campbell, British actress * Joanne Colan, video blogger * Joanne Deakins, British backstroke swimmer * Joanne Doyle, Irish dancer with Riverdance * Joanne Dru, American actress * Joanne Durant, Barbadian track and field sprinter * Joanne Ellis, English field hockey player * Joanne Fluke, American mystery novelist * Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta, singer Lady Gaga * Joanne Harris, British novelist * Jo Hayes, New Zealand politician * Joanne Herring, American political activist * Joanne Kelly, Canadian actress * Johann Lamont, Scottish politician * J.
