Jeneen Origin and Meaning

The name Jeneen is a girl's name.

Jeneen is a feminine name that emerged as a variant spelling of Janine or Jeanine, which themselves derive from Jane or Jean. These names ultimately trace back to the Hebrew Yochanan, meaning 'God is gracious.' The distinctive spelling with double 'e' gained some popularity in the mid-20th century United States, particularly during the 1950s and 1960s. Jeneen offers a slight twist on more common variations, giving it a touch of uniqueness while remaining recognizable and pronounceable. The name has a pleasant, melodic quality with its emphasis on the second syllable. Though never among the most popular names, Jeneen represents the mid-century trend of creating personalized variants of classic names.
