Dejanee
Meaning of Dejanee
Dejanee is a feminine given name of contemporary American origin, its morphology indicative of an agglutinative prefix De- appended to the diminutive Jane, thus situating it firmly within the Anglo-American onomastic tradition as a neologism that simultaneously evokes classical Germanic lineage and late-20th-century naming innovation; phonetically, it is realized in American English as /dɛˈʒɑːni/, featuring the voiced postalveolar fricative /ʒ/ uncommon among English-language personal names and yielding a subtle cross-cultural resonance; empirically, Social Security Administration data from 1988 through 2003 record annual registrations between 6 and 27 and national popularity rankings fluctuating from 804 to 899, indicating a sustained yet niche presence; semantically, Dejanee is analytically associated with notions of creative autonomy and progressive identity, reflective of broader cultural trends toward individualized expression in naming practices during the closing decades of the 20th century.
