History & Origin

Janard is a coinage of its time, joining the fashionable Ja- prefix to the -nard sound of names like Bernard and Leonard. Names built this way were chosen for how they sounded, not for a dictionary meaning.

It was never common, given to only about fifteen boys a year at its peak in the two-thousands. A boy named Janard then is still young, his name a product of the era's inventive style.

Did you know? The Ja- opening launched hundreds of American names in the late twentieth century, and pairing it with the sturdy old -nard of Leonard gives Janard a familiar-yet-new feel.
