It also participates in 6 confusable-pair relationships, "Jonny", "Johann", "Johanna", and more, since the words sound or look close enough that writers reach for the wrong one mid-sentence.
Wiktionary doesn't record an etymology for this headword, leaving phoneme-to-grapheme mapping as the best guide to its spelling rather than a borrowing history. The correct German form is Joanna, spelled J-O-A-N-N-A.
