Jannis is a feminine name with multiple possible origins. It can be considered a variation of Janice or Janet, which derive from the masculine John (meaning 'God is gracious'). Alternatively, it may be related to the Greek name Ioannis or Yannis. In some contexts, Jannis is used as a masculine name, particularly in Greek and German-speaking regions. The name has a crisp, clean sound with its two syllables and distinctive ending. While not among the most common names in English-speaking countries, it offers a fresh alternative to more familiar Jan-derived names like Janice or Janet. Jannis carries a subtle international quality that bridges European traditions while remaining straightforward in pronunciation for English speakers.
