About Jennah
Jennah is a feminine name with Arabic origins, where it means 'paradise' or 'garden of heaven' in Islamic tradition. It's also considered a variant spelling of Jenna, which derived from the Welsh name Jennifer (from Guinevere), meaning 'white wave' or 'fair spirit.' Jennah has gained modest popularity in recent decades, particularly in Muslim communities and among parents seeking names with spiritual significance. The name has a gentle, flowing quality while remaining simple to pronounce and spell. Its dual cultural heritage makes it appealing across different backgrounds. The addition of the 'h' gives the name a distinctive quality while maintaining its connection to the more widely recognized Jenna.
Pronounced JEN-uh.
As of October 2026, Jennah ranked #4401 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #1420 in 2002.
