Zhanae is a unique and captivating female given name of African origin, derived from the Swahili word "Jahan" which means "beautiful". It gained prominence in recent years due to its use by celebrities such as Zhane (born Traci Lauren Noblit), an American singer-songwriter who was part of the duo Zhane in the 1990s.
