Jayna

Jayna is an English name functioning as an elaborated feminine form of Jane, itself derived from the Old French Jehane, which traces back through Medieval Latin Johanna to the Hebrew Yohanan, meaning God is gracious. The name follows a pattern common in English-speaking countries of extending simpler names with the suffix -a or -na to create softer, more distinctive variants. Related forms include Jana, Jayne, Jaina, and Janae.
