What is the meaning of the name Jandy ?

Jandy is English in Origin.

Jandy is a modern English given name, most often interpreted as a blended form of Jan and Andy or an elaboration of the Jan- root with the playful -dy ending seen in Sandy and Mandy. Its components point to Hebrew and Greek sources: Jan ultimately goes back to Hebrew Yohanan, “Yahweh is gracious” (via John), while Andy comes from Greek Andreas, “man; courageous.” Many parents read the portmanteau as suggesting “gracious and brave,” though the fusion carries no fixed traditional meaning.

In use since the late 20th century, Jandy remains rare and unranked in major English-language charts, functioning as a unisex choice or as a nickname for Janice, Janet, Jane, Andrew, or Andrea. Variant spellings sometimes seen include Jandi, Jandee, and Jandie; short forms include Jan, Jani, Andy, and Andi. Note that Korean Jandi (잔디) is a separate name/word meaning “lawn,” unrelated etymologically.
