Janetta

Janetta is an English feminine name formed as an elaborated diminutive of Jane, which itself derives from the Old French Jehanne, ultimately tracing back to the Hebrew Yochanan, meaning God is gracious. The suffix -etta, borrowed from Italian and French diminutive patterns, lends the name a softer, more ornate quality. It is a rarer variant within the broad family of Jane-derived names that includes Janet, Janette, and Janetta's closer cognate Janette.
