Jo-an'na. (grace or gift of God). (in Revised Version spelled, Joanan).

1. Son of Rhesa, according to the text of Luke 3:27, and one of the ancestors of Christ; but according to the view explained in a previous article, son of Zerubbabel, and the same as Hananiah in 1 Chronicles 3:19.

2. The name of a woman, occurring twice in Luke 8:3; Luke 24:10, but evidently denoting the same person, (A.D. 28-30). In the first passage, she is expressly stated to have been, "wife of Chuza, steward of Herod," that is, Antipas, tetrarch of Galilee.
