Origin:Brazilian
Other Origin(s):Hebrew, Portuguese
Meaning:Graced by God, God is gracious
João is a brilliant boy’s name of Brazilian and Portuguese origin, meaning “graced by God.” Given its godly definitions through the Hebrew name Yochanan or John, which means “God is gracious,” the jewel-like João might declare a divine destiny for your little one. While football fans will love João for its ties to Portuguese players João Moutinho and João Félix, João has some kingly connections, too. Borne by João I, II, III, IV, V, and VI of Portugal, João carries many crowns of its own, and—who knows—your little one might be next in line!
