Jane Given Name Meaning & History

GENDER: Feminine, USAGE: English, PRONOUNCED: JAYN. Medieval English form of Jehanne, an Old French feminine form of Iohannes. This became the most common feminine form of John in the 17th century, surpassing Joan. Famous bearers include the uncrowned English queen Lady Jane Grey (1536-1554), who ruled for only 9 days, the British novelist Jane Austen (1775-1817), who wrote ‘Sense and Sensibility’ and ‘Pride and Prejudice’, and the British primatologist Jane Goodall (1934-). This is also the name of the central character in Charlotte Bronte’s novel ‘Jane Eyre’ (1847), which tells of her sad childhood and her relationship with Edward Rochester.

The feminine form of John and a variant of Joan, Jane has been around practically forever—from Jane Austen to Jane Seymour, and everyone in between. No matter what era, the name remains simple, classic, and lovely. This name derives from the Ancient Greek Iōánnēs (Ἰωάννης), which in turn derives from the Hebrew name “Yehochanan”, meaning “graced by Yahweh, God is gracious”. There are numerous forms of the name in different languages. This name is part of the largest etymological root of names made up of more than five hundred variations between males and females in different languages. The name “John” had gained popularity among Jews in Judea and Galilee by the time the area became a province of the Roman Empire in 6 A.D. John Hyrcanus was the first king of the Hasmonean Dynasty and was the nephew of Judas Maccabeus. It was the given name of Yochanan ben Zechariah, a Jewish prophet known in English as John the Baptist.
