Origin and meaning of Gioconda
Gioconda comes from the Latin iucunda, 'joyful, pleasant, delightful', from the root of iuvare, 'to please, to help'. It is a bright name that promises cheer and serenity. Made immortal by Leonardo da Vinci's masterpiece, the Gioconda (Mona Lisa), it is now rare and old-fashioned in flavour. Among real bearers stands the Nicaraguan poet and novelist Gioconda Belli, an acclaimed voice of Latin American literature.
