About Jeannine

This feminine form of Jean was most popular in the 1930s in its home country, and in the 1960s in the US. It's fallen off the Top 1000 list since, but perhaps cute retro nickname Jeannie could tempt some vintage-loving parents back.

Pronounced juh-NEEN.

As of October 2026, Jeannine ranked #10458 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #172 in 1929.
