Janey

Janey is an English feminine name functioning as a diminutive or pet form of Jane, which itself derives from the Old French Jehanne, ultimately tracing back to the Latin Johanna and the Hebrew Yohanan, meaning God is gracious. It shares its roots with a broad family of related names including Janet, Janice, Jean, Joan, and Joanna. Janey has been used as an affectionate everyday form of Jane in English-speaking countries for several centuries, appearing in literature and popular culture as a warm, informal variant.
