About Jeanne
Jeanne, while traditionally a feminine French name (the female equivalent of Jean), is listed here as masculine. This may reflect cross-cultural usage or modern gender-fluid naming practices. The name derives from the Hebrew Yochanan, meaning 'God is gracious.' In French-speaking regions, Jeanne has historically been popular for girls, equivalent to Jane or Joan in English. Its masculine usage is uncommon but could represent regional variations or family traditions. The name carries rich historical associations, including Joan of Arc (Jeanne d'Arc in French). While pronunciation varies by region, it typically sounds like 'zhahn' in French. Its usage as a masculine name remains rare but may reflect changing perceptions of traditionally gendered names.

Pronounced just like Jean in the English-speaking world, but as the more unusual zhahn in France, this has sailed away with the first wave of French favorites: Denise, Michelle, et soeurs.
As of October 2026, Jeanne ranked #5991 in US births in 1976 SSA, peaked at #2033 in 1940.
