What is the meaning of the name Jannick ?

The baby name Jannick is a Male name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced Common pronunciations: /ˈjænɪk/ (EN: 'YAN-ik'), /ˈjanik/ (FR/Scandi: 'YAH-nik').

Jannick is Breton, Germanic, Scandinavian in Origin.

Jannick is a Germanic and Nordic given name derived from Jan, a vernacular form of Johannes (Latin for Greek Ioannes from Hebrew Yochanan), meaning "God is gracious." The -nick/-nik diminutive ending parallels Slavic nickname patterns and was also shaped by the Breton-French form Yannick (Yann + -ig), which popularized the sound across Europe.

Documented mainly since the late 20th century, Jannick rose in Germany, Denmark, and the Netherlands alongside close spellings Jannik and Janik, with usage peaks in the 1990s-2000s. It remains familiar but less common than Yannick in Francophone regions. Variant spellings include Jannik, Janik, Janick, and Yannick; related feminine forms are Jannika/Janika and Yannika. Cognates across the John family include Jan, Johan, Johannes, Ian, Sean, and Ivan. Parents favor Jannick for its modern, brisk cadence while retaining the time-honored meaning "God is gracious."
