Jennine Origin and Meaning

The name Jennine is a girl's name.

Jennine is a feminine name representing a variant spelling of Janine or Jeanine, which themselves derive from the French feminine form of John (Jean). The name ultimately connects to the Hebrew 'Yochanan,' meaning 'God is gracious.' This particular spelling emerged in the mid-20th century when variant forms of popular names became increasingly fashionable. Jennine combines elements of the familiar 'Jenny' with the sophisticated French-inspired ending. While never among the most common names, Jennine saw modest popularity in the United States during the 1950s-1970s. The name carries a gentle, feminine quality with its soft consonants and flowing syllables. Jennine strikes a balance between familiarity and distinctiveness, offering a slight variation on more common forms while maintaining recognizable pronunciation.
