Jeanine is French in Origin.

Jeanine is the French diminutive form of Jeanne, the feminine of Jean, itself the French equivalent of John. Through Latin Iohannes and Greek Ioannes from Hebrew Yochanan, it carries the meaning “God is gracious.” The affectionate -ine ending produced forms such as Jeanine and Jeannine; the streamlined Janine arose in both French and English. Pronunciations vary: zhah-NEEN in French, juh-NEEN in English.

As a given name, Jeanine gained currency beyond France in the mid‑20th century, peaking in the United States during the 1950s–60s before declining, lending it a midcentury vintage feel today. Common nicknames include Jeanie and Jeannie; related variants and spellings are Jeannine and Janine. Cognates across languages - Joanna, Johanna, Giovanna, Ivana, Juana, and Siobhán - share the same Hebrew root. Overall, Jeanine blends a graceful meaning with chic francophone style.
