Jeanettah is a rare elaboration of Jeanetta/Jeannetta, feminine diminutives built on Jean/Jeanne - the Old French forms of John. Ultimately from Hebrew Yohanan (“God is gracious”), the name traveled via Greek Ioannes and Latin Iohannes into French and then English and Scots. The -etta/-ette diminutive, favoured in the 18th–19th centuries, underlies the form; the final -h is an ornamental modern flourish paralleling spellings such as Sarah or Hannah.

Jeanetta and Janetta appear in British and American records from the Victorian era, while Jeanette/Jeannette rose to wider popularity in the early–mid 20th century. Jeanettah remains very uncommon, but is intelligible wherever Jean-/Jan- names are used and surfaces in various English-speaking communities.
