Jayne

Jayne is an English given name functioning as an elaborated spelling variant of Jane, which itself derives from the Medieval Latin Johanna, the feminine form of Johannes. Johannes traces back through Greek Ioannes to the Hebrew name Yochanan, meaning God is gracious. The name gained widespread use in the English-speaking world alongside Jane and has been borne by various public figures, helping establish it as a recognized independent form. Related forms include Jane, Janet, Jean, Joan, and Joanna.
