Joan is a feminine form of the personal name John given to females in the Anglosphere. It is the native masculine form of John in the Catalan-Valencian and Occitan languages, (pronounced [ ʒuˈan]). In both cases, the name is derived from the Greek via the Latin Ioannes and Ioanna, and is thus cognate with John and related to its many forms, including its derived feminine forms.
Jeanne is a French female name, equivalent to the English Joan, Jane, Jean and several historical figures in English named Joanna.. The names derive from the Old French name Jehanne, which is derived from the Latin name Johannes, itself from the Koine Greek name Ιωαννης Ioannes. The Greek name ultimately derives from the Biblical Hebrew name Yochanan, a short form of the name Yehochanan, meaning "Yahweh is Gracious".
Joan of Arc (1412–1431) was a French woman who is known for her role in the Hundred Years' War and as a religious figure.
Joan of Arc has inspired artistic and cultural works for nearly six centuries. The following lists cover various media to include items of historic interest, enduring works of high art, and recent representations in popular culture. The entries represent portrayals that a reader has a reasonable chance of encountering rather than a complete catalog. Lesser known works, particularly from early periods, are not included. In this article, many of the excluded items are derivative of better known representations. For instance, Friedrich Schiller's 1801 play The Maid of Orleans inspired at least 82 different dramatic works during the nineteenth century, and Verdi's and Tchaikovsky's operatic adaptations are still recorded and performed. Most of the others survive only in research libraries. As another example, in 1894, Émile Huet listed over 400 plays and musical works about Joan of Arc. Despite a great deal of scholarly interest in Joan of Arc, no complete list of artistic works about her exists, although a 1989 doctoral dissertation did identify all relevant films including ones for which no copy survives.

Le Ditie de Jehanne d'Arc is a patriotic lyrical verse, and the last work of the Medieval feminist Christine de Pizan who lived from 1364 to about 1430 AD. Earlier in her career Pizan wrote many texts including The Book of the City of Ladies which included tales about infamous woman in history. In her last work "The Tale of Joan of Arc" Pizan writes 61 verses about Joan of Arc, who led the French army to reclaim territory being held by the English. It was written before Joan lost in battle and was taken as a prisoner and right before the death of Christine de Pizan herself.
