Jannike

Jannike is a Scandinavian feminine name, primarily used in Norway and Sweden, that developed as a diminutive elaboration of Johanna, itself the feminine form of Johannes. Johannes derives from the Hebrew name Yochanan, meaning God is gracious, through Latin and Greek transmission. The name belongs to a large family of Jan- forms common across Germanic and Nordic languages, with closely related variants including Jannicke, Janicke, and Janika.
