What is the meaning of the name Jannelle ?

The baby name Jannelle is a Female name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced /dʒəˈnɛl/ (juh-NEL).

Jannelle is English in Origin.

Jannelle is a modern English elaboration of Janelle, itself formed from Jane plus the French diminutive suffix -elle. Jane descends from Old French Jehanne via Latin Johanna, tracing to Hebrew Yohanan (“Yahweh is gracious”). The doubled n in Jannelle is a distinctive 20th‑century spelling that preserves the same meaning, “God is gracious,” while giving the name a softly lyrical shape.

Usage rose in North America from the 1950s through the 1990s with the vogue for -elle names, though it has remained less common than Janelle. Related forms and spellings include Janelle, Janell, Jannell, Janel, Jonelle, and Jeanelle; cognates from the wider John/Jane family are Jeanne, Jana, Joan, Johanna, and Gianna. Nicknames such as Jan, Jana, Nell, Nelle, Elle, or Ellie suit it well. Jannelle offers a familiar root with a contemporary, tailored twist.
