Dejanellah is in Origin.

Dejanellah is a modern American invented given name, a blended formation combining Deja and Janelle/Janella with a -ah flourish. Deja came into U.S. usage in late 20th century, influenced by the French word déjà and by sci‑fi character Dejah Thoris; Janelle is a French diminutive of Jeanne from Hebrew Yohanan "God is gracious." Thus the blended meaning can be read as "already (God is) gracious" or simply "gracious and new."

Usage is rare and confined to African-American communities from the 1990s onward, reflecting creative recombination patterns of De-, Ja-, -elle, and -ah elements. Variants include Dejanella, Dejanell, De’Janella, Dejanela, and Dejanellah; short forms Deja, Janelle, Nella, or DJ. A separate but sometimes associated root is South Slavic Dejan/Dejana (from a verb meaning "to act, do"), though Dejanellah is not a traditional Slavic name. Spelling is fluid, so families often tailor the cadence while preserving the name’s lyrical sound.
