Janielys is in Origin.
Janielys is a modern Spanish-Caribbean compound name, likely blending Jani- (from Jane/Janice/Janiel, feminine developments of John, Hebrew Yohanan 'God is gracious') with the popular -elis/-elys ending associated with Elise/Elizabeth (Hebrew Elisheva 'my God is an oath'). As a fusion, it conveys the devotional sense of a gracious promise of God, or of God being gracious and faithful, while retaining a melodic, contemporary feel common in Caribbean Spanish naming.
Usage appears among Puerto Rican, Dominican, and Cuban communities and in the broader Hispanic diaspora, with rare but steady U.S. occurrences since the late 1990s-2000s. Orthographic creativity yields many variants: Janelys, Janelis, Janielis, Janieliz, Yanielys, Yanelis, and Janiely/Janely. Diminutives and nicknames include Jani, Nely, and Ely. Largely feminine in practice, the name aligns with regional trends favoring -lis/-lys endings and blended theophoric meanings.
