feminine · Dutch origin
Janna is a feminine given name used in Dutch, Swedish, Finnish, and English contexts, functioning primarily as a short form or feminine variant of Jan, itself the Dutch and Scandinavian form of John, which derives from the Hebrew Yohanan meaning God is gracious. In English-speaking countries it has sometimes been treated as a variant spelling of Jana or as an elaborated form of Jan. The name shares its ultimate Hebrew root with a broad family of related names including Jane, Joan, Jean, and Johanna.
