History & Origin
Lajean is a twentieth-century American blend, fusing the ornamental prefix La- with Jean, the French feminine of John ('God is gracious'). It belongs to a broad fashion for La- names that gave familiar roots a fresh, personal shape.
Lajean was only about fifteen a year even at its peak in the late nineteen-forties and stayed uncommon. It reads clearly as a name of its mid-century moment, tied to the La- fashion rather than to any recent revival.
