John ( you can accept also Johnny )are the English equivalents. For example the female Italian name "Giovanna" is Joan or Joanna.
John in Slavic languages is the so popular male name Ivan.
Hope that helps!
Have a great day!

John. Johnny = Gianni, which sounds nearly the same in both languages except for the longer-lasting double 'nn' in Italian.
And the 'i' after a 'g' is not pronounced separately; it is only used to mutate the hard 'g' into an English 'j' sound. That's why 'Gianni' sounds like 'Johnny' and not 'Jee-ohnny' and 'Giovanni' is pronounce 'Joe-vahnny' not 'Jee-oh-vahnny.'
Giovanni also sounds like it could be 'Joe', but the talian for Joseph is Giuseppe.

It's equivalent is "John" but isn't Giovanni so much nicer!

It's a name, and has no translation. It's equivalent is John.
