Janalea (pronounced JAN-uh-lee or JAY-nuh-lee) is a modern American blended name combining Jana/Jane with Lea/Leah. Jane and Jana trace to Hebrew Yohanan, meaning "God is gracious." Lea may reflect Hebrew Leah, often interpreted as "weary," or the Old English place-name element leah, "meadow, clearing." As a portmanteau, Janalea carries both lines of meaning - grace or divine favor paired with pastoral imagery - yielding a softly lyrical, contemporary feel.
