Janel

Janel is an English feminine name that arose as a modern variant of Jane, itself the English form of the Old French Jehanne, ultimately derived from the Latin Johanna and the Hebrew Yohanan, meaning God is gracious. It belongs to the broad family of names descending from the biblical figure John, adapted into feminine form across many European languages. Related forms include Janet, Janelle, Janette, and the foundational Jane.
