Ivanča

Ivanča is a feminine given name of Slavic origin, primarily found in the Balkan region, especially in countries such as Serbia, Croatia, Slovenia, and Slovakia. It is a diminutive form of the name Ivana, which is the feminine equivalent of Ivan. Ivan is the Slavic form of the name John, derived from the Hebrew name Yohanan, meaning "God is gracious."

Therefore, Ivanča carries the meaning of "God is gracious" in a smaller, more endearing form. It is often used as a familiar or affectionate nickname for girls and women named Ivana. While less common as a formal first name on its own, it is still used as such in some instances. The name signifies a sense of tradition and connection to Slavic heritage.
