The origination of my English name
Today, let me talk about the origination of my English name. I'm Jovany, a native Chinese guy. This name is made years ago by myself. Have you ever felt it sounds like Giovanni? Yes you hit it! It comes from the Italian name Giovanni. However it never refers to the Mafia boss, but a cartoon character. Do you know the Rocket Group in Pokémon? Its boss is named so. When this cartoon was introduced into China mainland, the name was translated to a Chinese counterpart pronounced as "Qiao Wan Ni", which happened to coincide with my Chinese name Qiao. So I decided to coin a individualized name in the light of its homophony. Then Jovany was born! \(^o^)/
