Janecza is in Origin.

Janecza is a rare feminine given name with Slavic coloring, likely a Polish-influenced diminutive built on the Jan-/Johann- root (from Hebrew Yohanan, "God is gracious"). In Polish orthography, cz represents a ch/tch sound; the ending -cza mirrors affectionate formations such as Janeczka, while Czech/Slovak Janečka offers a close counterpart with č. As such, Janecza can be read as a stylized or streamlined kin to those pet forms.

Usage appears sporadically from the late 20th century onward, most often as an independent modern choice or as a nickname for Jana, Janina, or Joanna, rather than a traditional canonized form. Variants and near-forms include Janeczka, Janicza, Janiczka, and Czech Janečka; broader cognates are Jana, Janina, Janice, Jean, Joan, and Johanna. The overarching meaning remains "God is gracious," associated with kindness, favor, and grace.
