Jannicke

Jannicke is a Norwegian feminine given name derived ultimately from the Hebrew Yohanan, meaning God is gracious, reaching Scandinavia through the Latin Iohannes and the Old French Jeanne. It developed as a diminutive or elaborated form within Norwegian naming tradition, functioning as a distinctly local variant of the widespread name Johan and its feminine counterparts. Related forms include Janicke, Jannike, and the broader family of names such as Johanne, Jane, and Jean.
