A diminutive of Jean or Jenny, from the Hebrew 'Yohannah' meaning 'God is gracious' — with a playful, spirited sound

<p><strong>Jinny</strong> is a spirited diminutive of Jean or Jenny — ultimately rooted in the Hebrew meaning of <strong>'God is gracious.'</strong> It has a light, bouncy quality with just a hint of mischief — the kind of name that suggests a personality with energy and opinions.</p><p>There's also a nice connection to the concept of a 'jinni' (the spirit of folklore), giving Jinny a slightly magical, mysterious edge.
