History & Origin

Janari is a contemporary American coinage. It takes the Jan- opening familiar from Janae, Janiya and Janice and finishes it with -ari, an ending that has spread quickly across modern naming. There is no documented older source, so the routes are uncertain, which we note (said 'juh-NAR-ee').

It appears only rarely for girls in the U.S. Rare, coined, and airy.
