Janique is a unique and melodic first name of French origin, derived from the French word "jan" meaning "January," combined with the suffix "-ique." This name has gained popularity in recent years, particularly in francophone countries and beyond, appealing to parents seeking distinctive yet elegant options for their children.
"Janique experienced significant popularity in the late 70s and early 80s, with a peak of 19 births in 1987. It maintained steady usage until the mid-90s, after which it became less common. However, there was another small spike in the early 2000s before steadily declining again."
