Jeaninne

Origin

Jeaninne is a modern English feminine name, likely a feminised form of Jean, which itself originates from the Hebrew name Yohanan, meaning 'Yahweh is gracious'.

The name Jeaninne appears to be a contemporary Australian invention, possibly created to give a unique, elegant variation. It does not have specific historical mentions in ancient texts but draws from the broader European naming history. The suffix '-inne' enhances its poetic and romantic appeal in English-speaking countries.
