Janae

Janae is a modern English feminine name created as an elaborated form of Jane, itself the English equivalent of the Old French Jehanne, derived from the Latin Johanna and ultimately from the Hebrew Yohanan, meaning God is gracious. The name emerged in the twentieth century alongside similar coined variants that extended Jane with the suffix -ae or -ay, giving it a more distinctive feel. Related forms include Janay, Janaye, and the longer elaboration Janaé, as well as the broader family of Jane-derived names such as Janet, Janice, and Janelle.
