Janele

Janele is an English feminine name, an elaborated or variant spelling of Janelle, which itself is a modern formation combining the Hebrew-rooted name Jane (meaning God is gracious, from the Hebrew Yohanan) with the French diminutive suffix -elle. The name belongs to a broad family of feminine derivatives of John that spread widely across European languages, including Janet, Janelle, Janette, and Janella. It emerged primarily in the twentieth century English-speaking world as a given name in its own right, following the mid-century popularity of rhyming -elle names.
