The earliest recorded occurrence of the name Joanna, in Luke 8:3, refers to the disciple "Joanna the wife of Chuza," who was an associate of Mary Magdalene. Her name as given is Greek in form, although it ultimately originated from the Hebrew masculine name יְהוֹחָנָן "Yehôḥānān" or יוֹחָנָן "Yôḥānān" meaning 'God is gracious'. In Greek this name became Ιωαννης "Iōannēs", from which "Iōanna" was derived by giving it a feminine ending. The original Latin form "Joanna" was used in English to translate the equivalents in other languages; for example, Juana la Loca is known in English as Joanna the Mad. The variant form "Johanna" originated in Latin in the Middle Ages, by analogy with the Latin masculine name "Johannes". The Greek form lacks a medial "-h-" because in Greek /h/ could only occur initially.

The Hebrew name יוֹחָנָה "Unicode|Yôḥānnāh" was borne by men in earlier centuries, but in modern usage it has become feminine, to provide a Hebrew equivalent for the name Joanna and its variants. The Christian Arabic form of John is يوحنّا "Unicode|Yūḥannā", based on the Syriac form of the name. For Joanna, Arabic translations of the Bible use يونّا "Yuwannā" based on Syriac ܝܘܚܢ "Yoanna", which in turn is based on the Greek form "Iōanna".

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 is a single unit, not a compound. The names Hannah, Anna, Anne, Ann are etymologically related to Joanna just the same: they are derived from Hebrew חַנָּה "Unicode|Ḥannāh" 'grace' from the same verbal root meaning 'to be gracious'.
