Janele

Janele is an English feminine name, a variant spelling of Janelle, itself a modern elaboration of Jane formed by adding the French-influenced suffix -elle. Jane derives from the Old French Jehanne, tracing back to the Latin Johanna and ultimately the Hebrew Yohanan, meaning God is gracious. The name belongs to the broad family of Joan-derived forms that became widely used in the English-speaking world during the twentieth century. Related forms include Janell, Janelle, Janel, and Janet.
