Jeannetta

Meaning of Jeannetta

Jeannetta (pronounced jee-uh-NET-uh) brings a breath of timeless elegance wrapped in warm, vintage charm. A French elaboration of Jeanne—itself from the Hebrew Yohanan, “God is gracious”—this gentle name conjures images of sunlit afternoons and hand-stitched lace, yet carries a spirited individuality that modern parents crave. It never fades into the sea of Emmas or Sophias in the playground; instead, Jeannetta stands out like a cherished family heirloom, both gracious and one-of-a-kind. Though it saw modest mid-century popularity in America, its rarity today makes it a delightful choice for a little girl destined to carry grace and wit through every spelling bee and birthday party. Warm, lyrical, and utterly memorable, Jeannetta is a loving nod to tradition with plenty of room to bloom.
