History & Origin

Johnae is a modern American coinage. Its base is John, from Hebrew Yochanan, 'God is gracious' — among the most enduring names in the Western tradition — reshaped with the -ae ending that flourished in late twentieth-century naming. As a whole compound it is new, so we flag the routes as uncertain (said 'joh-NAY').

It appears only rarely for girls in the U.S. Rare, inventive, and modern.
