Jehane is French in Origin.
Jehane is a medieval French feminine form of Jeanne, via Latin Iohanna and Greek Ioanna from Hebrew Yochanan, meaning "Yahweh is gracious." In Old French records of the 12th-15th centuries it appears as Jehane or Jehanne; Joan of Arc herself signed "Jehanne la Pucelle," reflecting this period spelling. The form later yielded the standard Jeanne in Modern French and waned, but sees occasional revival as a heritage choice.
Variants and related names include Jehanne, Jeanne, Jeannette, Jane, Joan, Joanna, and Johanna; the masculine counterpart is Jehan/Jean. In contemporary Francophone and Arab contexts, Jehane can also represent a French transliteration of Arabic Jihane/Jihan (from Persian Jahan), meaning "world, universe," a distinct etymology with variants Jihan and Jihane. Thus Jehane carries two legitimate lineages: the biblical grace tradition and, separately, the Persian-Arabic "world" sense.
