jauni is in Origin.

Jauni is a modern, cross-cultural given name whose form intersects several traditions. In many English and European contexts it is treated as a respelling of Jani/Joni, diminutives of John/Joan from Hebrew Yohanan, “God is gracious.” In the Nordic sphere it closely echoes Juni/Junie, tied to the month June and ultimately the Roman goddess Juno. Beyond these, the sound aligns with South Asian jawani (“youth”) and with the Baltic adjective jauni (“young”), associations that contribute a fresh, youthful aura even though the word itself is not a historical given name in those languages.

Usage is chiefly contemporary, with records rising from the late 20th century onward; it is typically unisex and chosen for its light, two-syllable rhythm and distinct spelling. Related forms and near-variants include Jani, Joni, Jouni, Juni, Junie, Yani, and Jonie. Possible meanings span “God is gracious,” “youthful,” or “of June/Juno.”
