Jenae Origin and Meaning

The name Jenae is a girl's name.

Jenae is a feminine name that appears to be a modern variation of names like Jana or Janae, which themselves derive from Jane or John, ultimately from the Hebrew Yochanan meaning 'God is gracious.' With its contemporary spelling and flowing sound, Jenae presents a fresh take on these traditional roots. The name gained some recognition in the United States in the late 20th and early 21st centuries but has remained relatively uncommon. Jenae has a modern, somewhat melodic quality while maintaining connections to classic naming traditions. Its brevity coupled with the feminine ending creates a name that balances simplicity and elegance. Parents might choose Jenae for its contemporary feel combined with subtle traditional undertones and its distinctive yet accessible character.
