How to pronounce Johnna?

jon na

Girl's first name

Female

This is my sister's first name. She's named after my grandfather, who was John. Very simple name, just add "na" sound after John. Surprisingly, people can't seem to get it right. It is NOT pronounced "joe-na" like someone else posted.

JOHN nuh... Rhymes with Donna.

First name

Irish-American

Female

NONE. Incorrect spellings such as Joanna, Johanna, and Joanna are what causes the confusion.

God is Gracious

Johnna is the feminine namesake for John, just as Donna is the feminine namesake for Don and Roberta is the feminine namesake for Robert.

The trick to pronouncing Johnna properly is to divide the word's two syllables correctly. It is not "JOH-nna' which would imply the first syllable ends with a long sound. The correct way to divide the two syllables is between the double consonant as in JOHN-na.

John-na
Just like the name John with the -na at the end...pretty simple and wish people would get it right.

JOHN nuh... Rhymes with Donna. The "o" is short as in "on" not long as in "over". Say the name John just you normally would and then add "nuh" at the end.
