Jonine is English in Origin.
Jonine is a rare modern feminine name in the English-speaking world, most plausibly a respelling or blend related to Janine/Jeanine (the French diminutive of Jeanne, from Hebrew Yochanan) and thus carrying the meaning “God is gracious.” Some onomastic parallels also connect it to Jónína, the Icelandic feminine form of Jón (John), which reinforces the same Hebrew-rooted meaning. The -ine ending places Jonine among mid-20th-century elaborations built on Jo-/Jon- stems, with a sound profile similar to Janine and Joline.
Usage appears sporadically from the later 20th century in the United States and Australia, where creative Jo- names were in fashion. Jonine remains uncommon and often occurs as a distinctive alternative to better-known forms. Recorded variants and near-variants include Joneen, Jonene, Jonina, and Joni, while related cognates include Janine, Jeanine, Joanne, and Johanna. The name’s prevailing meaning is “Yahweh is gracious.”
