    John and Johanna

    What about these two names? Is Johanna feminine version of John or it is completely another name?

    I don't think Johanna is a particularly common name in English - I only know it from the Bob Dylan song. Joanna, Joanne and Joan are much more standard 'feminine versions' of John.
    А если отнять еще одну?

    I knew a "Johnna" here in the US -- American, but there may have been some scandinavian connection way back in her family.
    Yes, I live in Texas. No, I don't support Bush.

    Johanna is the feminine version of Johan?

    Johannah

    I live in the US and I know quite a few girls named Johannah, but as far as I know, Johannah isn't the necessarily THE feminine equivalent of John. As a matter of fact I think the name Jane is far more associated with John. I don't know if everyone agrees with me, but that is one American's opinion.
    Git 'er done!

    I went to school with a Turkish girl called Johanna... No, Pravit did.

    Pravette.

    But let me present another hypothesis: Pravit is the third person singular present of the verb "править" and since it's the same for all genders the female variant would be Правит as well. Btw, that also proves that Pravit is a Russian name.
