Jayne

Jayne is an English given name functioning as an elaborated spelling variant of Jane, which itself derives from the Old French Jehanne, a feminine form of the Latin Iohannes. That Latin name traces back through Greek Ioannes to the Hebrew Yohanan, meaning Yahweh is gracious. The spelling with a final e gained popularity in the twentieth century, partly influenced by actress Jayne Mansfield. Closely related forms include Jane, Jean, Joan, and Janet.
