Jannine
Jannine Origin and Meaning
Jannine is a feminine name that serves as a variant spelling of Janine or Jeanine, which themselves derive from Jane or Jeanne – feminine forms of John. The ultimate origin is the Hebrew name Yochanan, meaning 'God is gracious.' This particular spelling with double 'n' adds a distinctive touch to the more common forms. Jannine enjoyed modest popularity in the mid-20th century but has since become less common, giving it a somewhat vintage appeal. The name balances familiarity with uniqueness through its recognizable sounds but less conventional spelling. Jannine has a gentle, feminine quality with its soft consonants and flowing rhythm. The name crosses cultural boundaries well, recognized in both English-speaking countries and French-influenced regions.
