Janelle is a modern feminine given name that combines elements of 'Jane' and the suffix '-elle.' It originates from the Hebrew name Yochanan, meaning 'God is gracious,' which was later adapted into the Old French 'Jehanne' and eventually 'Jane.' The '-elle' suffix adds a soft, feminine touch, making the name popular in English-speaking countries since the mid-20th century.
