A female given name, traditionally associated with Saint Joan of Arc and many other historical figures.
From the male name John, through Old French 'Jehan.' The feminine form 'Joan' became a common English name, especially after the fame of Joan of Arc in the 15th century.
Joan of Arc was a peasant girl who led France to military victory and claimed to hear voices from God—she was only 19 when she was executed, yet her name became so legendary that it's been used for centuries as a symbol of courage and conviction.
