## Etymology

* Joanna is the feminine form of John which is the English form of *Iohannes*, the Latin form of the Greek name *Ἰωάννης (Ioannes)*, itself derived from the Hebrew name *יוֹחָנָן (Yochanan)* meaning "Yahweh is gracious", from the roots *יוֹ (yo)*referring to the Hebrew God and *חָנַן (chanan)* meaning "to be gracious". The Hebrew form occurs in the Old Testament (spelled *Johanan* or *Jehohanan* in the English version), but this name owes its popularity to two New Testament characters, both highly revered saints. The first is John the Baptist, a Jewish ascetic who is considered the forerunner of Jesus. He baptized Jesus and was later executed by Herod Antipas. The second is the apostle John, who is traditionally regarded as the author of the fourth gospel and Revelation. With the apostles Peter and James(his brother), he was part of the inner circle of Jesus.
* Bertiz indicates a familial origin within the eponymous neighborhood of the Navarrese municipality of Bertizarana. Wagner is from Middle High German *wagener* meaning "wagon maker, cartwright".
