Janae

Janae is a modern English feminine name, most likely an elaborated or phonetic respelling of Jane, which itself descends from the Old French Jehanne, ultimately rooted in the Hebrew name Yochanan, meaning God is gracious. The name emerged primarily in American usage during the twentieth century as part of a broader trend of creating new feminine forms through altered spellings and added suffixes. Related names include Janay, Janae's near-identical variant, as well as the wider family of Jane-derived forms such as Jayne, Janelle, and Janae.
