Janis Name Details

Janis is a variant of the name Jane, which ultimately derived from the Hebrew name Yochanah. The name Yochanah consists of two elements: 'Yah', which is a shortened form of God's name Yahweh, and 'Chanah', which means 'favor' or 'grace'. Therefore, Janis carries the beautiful meaning of 'God is gracious'. It is a popular name in English-speaking countries and has been in use since the 20th century.
