Janali is in Origin.

Janali is a modern given name with several plausible roots. In English-speaking use, it often reads as an elaboration of Jana/Jane, ultimately from Hebrew Yohanan “Yahweh is gracious,” with the -ali ending echoing names such as Anali or Ali. In Australia, Janali may also be a streamlined spelling of Jannali, from the Dharawal Aboriginal word for “moon.” Variants and near-forms include Jannali, Janalee, Janaly, Janalie, and Jenali; short forms include Jana, Jani, and Nali.

Recorded sporadically since the late 20th century in Australia and North America, Janali remains rare but approachable, aided by its similarity to Janelle and Ali. Meanings depend on derivation - either “God is gracious” or “moon” - while blended readings can allude to Ali (Arabic “exalted”). Usage skews feminine yet can be unisex, giving the name a lyrical, contemporary feel.
