As it carries the positive connotation of perseverance and endurance, the name Yovani can be a fitting choice for parents looking for an uncommon yet significant name for their child.
The name Yovani has seen some fluctuations in its popularity over the years in the United States. In 1992, there were 6 babies named Yovani.

It's interesting to note that the popularity of the name did not follow the typical trend of either increasing or decreasing consistently over time.
