What is the meaning of the name Jannat ?

The baby name Jannat is a Female name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced /ˈdʒænət/ (JAN-nət),/dʒəˈnɑːt/ (juh-NAHT).

Jannat is Arabic in Origin.

Jannat is a feminine Arabic name meaning “paradise, garden (of bliss).” It derives from al-Jannah and the root J-N-N, “to conceal/cover,” evoking an enclosed, lush garden. In the Qur’an the plural jannāt appears frequently for the heavenly gardens, and this plural form underlies the South Asian and Persianate spelling Jannat. Common variants and transliterations include Jannah, Jannath, and Jennat; related forms used as names include Turkish Cennet, all meaning “paradise.”

As a given name, Jannat is popular in Urdu- and Bengali-speaking communities and across the Muslim world in the 20th–21st centuries, valued for its serene imagery and Qur’anic resonance. Primarily feminine, it is occasionally unisex. Compound forms are common, such as Jannat al-Firdaws/Jannatul Ferdous (“highest paradise”) and Jannat al-Na‘im. The name conveys beauty, reward, and spiritual hope.
