Jeannie

/ˈdʒiːni/ noun

Definition

a female given name, variant of Jean or Jeanie, often used as a proper noun.

Etymology

Derived from the French name 'Jeanne,' the feminine form of 'Jean' (John). Ultimately from Hebrew 'Yochanan' meaning 'God is gracious.' The diminutive '-ie' ending makes it friendly and informal.

Kelly Says

The name Jeannie became iconic through pop culture (like the genie in 'I Dream of Jeannie'), but it's actually rooted in the Hebrew blessing 'God is gracious'—hidden meaning in a name!
