History & Origin

Jeanny is a diminutive spelling of Jeannie, itself a pet form of Jeanne, the French feminine of John. This spelling was always scarce, reaching its modest high around 1976.

Never common, it was given to only a handful of girls a year, and it read as an affectionate twist on a classic. A girl named Jeanny at that peak would be around fifty today. Its light two-beat sound gives it a cheerful, sweet-natured feel.
