How would you pronounce this name ? JAHN-ah or gee-AN-ah. I have read both online and I love this name but not sure how it's actually pronounced!

    I believe the correct pronunciation is JAHN-ah.

    In Italian, where this name originates, this is correct.

    I have a prayer card with st Gianna on it from a friend who got it at the Vatican and I love that she is the saint for monks and unborn children. Check out st Gianna Berreta on Google. Officially made a saint in 2004.
