Origin & Meaning
AI-WrittenFrench diminutive of Jeanne, which traces back through Latin and Greek to the Hebrew name meaning God is gracious.

First Impressions
AI-WrittenA Jeannine is often assumed to own a correct set of dessert forks and know how to spell foreign menu items on the first try. The double-n spelling carries a deliberate midcentury neatness. Most people with the name are in their sixties, old enough to have used carbon paper and young enough to prefer email over texting. The name suggests someone who remembers the exact date she bought her living room sofa.
