Janot Origin and Meaning

The name Janot is a girl's name.

Janot is a feminine name with French origins, functioning as a diminutive form of Jane or Jeanne. The addition of the suffix '-ot' creates an endearing, affectionate variation of these classic names. Historically, Janot was used in medieval and Renaissance France, though it has remained quite rare in modern times. The name carries the same meaning as its root name Jane, deriving from the Hebrew Yochanan meaning 'God is gracious.' With its French flair and vintage quality, Janot offers a distinctive alternative to more common Jane derivatives. The name's brevity and soft ending sound create a name that is simultaneously sweet and sophisticated, though it has never achieved widespread popularity outside of France.
