Joyhannah

Joyhannah


-meaning: Joy means happiness and Hannah means grace
-origin: Joy is Latin, Hannah is Hebrew, and Johanna is German (if you want to consider that variant)
-potential nicknames: Joy, Hannah

There is a part of me that feels that Joy is just a bit too simple of a name for a first name. While watching the Duggars on TV, I noticed they have a Joy Anna and a Johannah. I like both names, but, when I combined them, I loved it. It is nowhere to be seen on the popularity lists as a combined name (although Joy comes in around the 500 range and Hannah is #23 as of 2009) and has two great names that can be used as nicknames (Joy and Hannah).
