Joanna, Joan or Jane!?!?
It's the feminine form of John which is Juan, in Spanish!?!?

Pretty much "Jane". Juan is John. Juana would be the feminine. Unless I've gotten spelling wrong and it's a different word.

Juana or Juanita means Johanna, although many people translate it to Jane as well. It's the feminine form of Juan or John in English.

Juana is the female version of John in Spanish. It's like Johnetta in English. It has no other meaning.

I don't know if it has an English equivalent, but 'Juan' is 'John.' So Juana is basically the female name for 'John.'
