History & Origin

Jannine is one spelling of Janine, the French feminine diminutive of Jean, the French form of John, from Hebrew Yohanan, 'God is gracious'. English speakers spelled it many ways, and the extra n in Jannine is one such variant.

Never common, Jannine was borne by only a few dozen girls a year, cresting in the mid-1960s and thinning by the 2000s. It sits among a cluster of look-alike spellings such as Jeannine and Janeen.

Did you know? Janine and its spellings arrived on the wave of French-styled feminines - Jeanine, Janene, Janeen - that American parents favoured in the 1950s and 60s.
