Janna

Janna has two distinct origins. As a Northern European name, it arose as a feminine short form or variant of Johanna, itself derived from the Hebrew Yohanan, meaning God is gracious, and it has been used in Dutch, Swedish, Finnish, and English contexts. In Arabic, Janna means garden or paradise, drawing on the same root as the Quranic term for heaven, and it functions as an independent given name across the Arabic-speaking world. Related forms include Jana, Johanna, and Hanna.
