How to Pronounce Dejanee

Pronounced day-zhuh-NAY /deɪʒəˈneɪ/Medium

Meaning: Dejanee blends the De- prefix of African American naming with the -janee ending heard in Janae, a modern feminine spun from Jane. Jane traces back through John to a Hebrew phrase meaning 'God is gracious'. The De- opening carries no meaning of its own, so the faint inherited sense comes from the Jane family at its heart.Low

In 30 seconds: Dejanee joins the De- prefix to the Janae sound, faintly tied to Jane, 'God is gracious'. Very rare, it peaked in the early nineteen-nineties (say day-zhuh-NAY).

History & Origin

Dejanee is a coined name that fits the De- prefix to the -janee sound of Janae, a recent feminine form ultimately connected to Jane and its meaning 'God is gracious'. The result is a flowing three-beat name whose appeal is mostly musical.

Dejanee barely registered in United States records. It surfaced in the late nineteen-eighties, reached a tiny high of a couple dozen girls a year around 1993, and had all but disappeared within about fifteen years. A girl named Dejanee then is around thirty now.

Did you know? Dejanee is one of a whole family of De- names, alongside Deja, Dejah and Dejanae, that turned a simple prefix into a signature of an era.
