Janeeva is in Origin.

Janeeva is a modern given name, typically pronounced juh-NEE-və. It likely arose in English-speaking contexts as a blended form of Jane and Eva, or as a phonetic respelling of Geneva. As a Jane + Eva fusion, it combines Jane (from Hebrew Yohanan, “God is gracious”) with Eva (from Hebrew Chava, “life”), often interpreted together as “gracious life” or “life by God’s grace.” If taken as a Geneva variant, it inherits the place-name’s Celtic roots, probably meaning “river bend” or “river mouth.”

Usage is contemporary and rare, aligning with late 20th- and early 21st-century trends for inventive spellings, while related forms such as Geneva and Jeneva appear in earlier U.S. records. Variants and near-forms include Janeva, Jeneeva, Jeneva, Janiva, and Geneva; possible diminutives are Neva, Neve, Janie, and Eva. The name offers familiar sounds with a distinctive modern profile.
