Jannine is English, Hebrew in Origin.

Jannine is a modern respelling of Janine/Jeanine, an English and French diminutive of Jeanne, the feminine form of Jean (John). Through Old French and Latin Iohannes and Greek Ioannes, it descends from the Hebrew name Yohanan, meaning “Yahweh is gracious” or “God is gracious.” The double-n spelling signals a contemporary twist while preserving the same etymological meaning and cadence as its close cousins.

Usage rose in many English‑speaking and European countries from the 1950s through the 1980s, alongside a vogue for streamlined French‑tinged names; Jannine itself is rarer than Janine or Jeanine but follows the same mid‑century pattern of creative spellings. Notable variants and cognates include Janine, Jeanine, Jeannine, Janene, Jeneen, and Janina; related forms are Jeanne and Johanna. Short forms such as Jan, Jani, and Nina also occur. Across cultures the core sense of gracious divine favor remains central, giving Jannine a classic meaning wrapped in a modern silhouette.
