Janalie is English, Slavic in Origin.

Janalie is a modern feminine name, most plausibly created in English-speaking settings by blending Jana (a form of Jane from Hebrew Yohanan, "God is gracious") with the fashionable -lee ending (from Old English leah, "meadow, clearing"). Some see it as a creative respelling of Janelle or a telescoping of Jana + Lee as a compound. Pronunciations vary, typically JAN-uh-lee or juh-NAH-lee. As a coinage, its sense combines grace with a nature-tinged feel rather than conveying a single traditional meaning.

Documented in the United States from the late 20th century onward, Janalie has remained rare and seldom appears in national rankings, aligning with enthusiasm for -lee and -leigh endings. Variant forms include Janalee, Janaleigh, Janaly, Jana-Lee, and Jannalie; related names are Janelle and Annalie. Nicknames include Jana, Janie, Ali, and Nali. Its uncommonness lends it a tailored, contemporary character while still echoing the venerable "God is gracious" root.
