      The name Jannelle is a variant of Janel, which is derived from the English name Jane. It combines the Hebrew name Yochanan, meaning God is gracious. Jannelle is often appreciated for its melodic sound and feminine charm, making it a popular choice among parents seeking a name that conveys both strength and grace.
