Meaning & History
Jeanine is a variant of Jeannine, ultimately derived from the French Jeanne, the feminine form of John. The name thus traces its origins to the Hebrew name Yoḥanan, meaning "Yahweh is gracious." While John became a widely popular masculine name across Europe, its feminine counterparts—including Jeanne, Jeannine, and Jeanine—have been especially prevalent in French, Dutch, and English-speaking regions.
