Janeah
Meaning of Janeah
Janeah is a modern American variant rooted in the Hebrew name Yochanan, meaning “God is gracious,” adapted through the classic English Jane and finished with a Latinate –ah ending that lends the name a bilingual resonance. Pronounced juh-NEE-ə, it first appeared in U.S. birth records in the early 1990s and has since maintained a modest but consistent presence, with annual tallies of five to fourteen newborns and a ranking that generally hovers between 900 and 950. Its steady, low‐frequency use reflects a growing preference among Hispanic and bicultural families for names that seamlessly bridge English and Spanish phonetics. Although still rare—only five girls were named Janeah in 2024—its blend of familiar roots and distinctive sound continues to attract parents seeking a name both graceful and uniquely contemporary.
