Janele is an English feminine name, a variant spelling of Janelle, which itself is a modern elaboration of Jane combined with the French diminutive suffix -elle. Jane derives from the Old French Jehanne, ultimately tracing back to the Hebrew Yohanan, meaning God is gracious. The name belongs to a broad family of forms including Janet, Janelle, Janella, and Janice, all built on the same Hebrew root through Latin Johanna.
