Jeanine

French variation of Jean

"God is gracious"

Jeanine Origin and Meaning

The name Jeanine is a girl's name meaning "God is gracious".

Together with the more common (in France) Jeannine spelling, this feminine form of Jean was most popular in the 1930s in its home country, and in the 1960s in the US. It's fallen off the Top 1000 list since, but perhaps cute retro nickname Jeannie could tempt some vintage-loving parents back.
