giorno

Giorno is an Italian masculine given name meaning “day.” Derived from the Italian word giorno, it is used in Italy and among Italian-speaking communities. The name is primarily a given name rather than a surname and is sometimes chosen for fictional characters in popular culture.

In popular culture, Giorno Giovanna is the principal character of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Part 5: Vento Aureo (Golden Wind), created by Hirohiko Araki. He is portrayed as the son of Dio Brando who inhabits the body of Jonathan Joestar, and he grows up in Italy under the name Giorno Giovanna. He forms a close-knit team with Bruno Bucciarati and other Stand users with the aim of reforming the Mafia organization Passione from within. His Stand is Gold Experience, which can give life to inanimate objects and create living outcomes, and in its evolved form, Gold Experience Requiem, it gains the ability to nullify opposing actions and steer events toward Giorno’s desired outcome. The narrative centers on leadership, loyalty, and moral reform within a criminal underworld.

Beyond the JoJo reference, Giorno can be encountered as a given name within Italian contexts, and the Italian word giorno simply means “day.”
