Meaning & Origin
Janeanne is a girl's baby name, a graceful compound of Jane and Anne, both rooted in the Hebrew Yohanan through different linguistic paths, both meaning "God is gracious." Jane came through Old French Jehanne, while Anne arrived via Latin Anna from Hebrew Hannah ("grace" or "favor").
Double-name compounds like Janeanne were especially popular in the American South and Midwest through the mid-20th century — think Maryanne, Roseann, Leeanne. Janeanne has that same warm, practical elegance: it's the kind of name that gets shortened to Jane by some people and called in full by others, and answers happily to both. A name with real American grandmother charm.
