Geanine Origin and Meaning
The name Geanine is a girl's name.
Geanine is a feminine name with French and American influences, likely a variant spelling of Jeanine or Janine. These names derive from the French Jeanne, which is the feminine form of Jean (John), ultimately from the Hebrew name Yochanan meaning "God is gracious." Geanine emerged in the mid-20th century in America when creative spellings of traditional names became fashionable. While not among the most common variations, Geanine offers a distinctive spelling that maintains the elegant pronunciation of similar names. The 'Gea-' prefix might also evoke connections to the Greek term 'gea' (earth), though this isn't its etymological origin. Geanine peaked in popularity during the 1950s-1970s but remains a relatively uncommon choice.
