Jeana

Jeana is a feminine name that represents a variation of Jean or Jeanne, ultimately derived from the Hebrew name Yochanan, meaning "God is gracious." This variant spelling adds a softer, more feminine ending to the classic Jean. Particularly popular in the United States during the 1960s and 1970s, Jeana offered families a way to honor traditional family names like Jean or John while creating a more distinctive feminine form. The name has a gentle, unpretentious quality that balances familiarity with uniqueness. While its popularity has declined since its peak, Jeana maintains appeal for parents seeking a name with traditional roots yet a slightly unconventional spelling.

Pronounced JEE-nah.

As of October 2026, Jeana ranked #10456 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #672 in 1971.
