History & Origin
Jahnay is a modern coinage echoing Janae, joining a Jah- opening with the -nay ending. Janae itself is a contemporary feminine of John ('God is gracious'), and Jahnay reflects the fashion for reshaping such names with fresh spellings.
It was never common in the United States, given to only about twenty girls a year even at its peak around 1994, and it stays rare. A girl named Jahnay then is in her thirties now.
