Janylah, of Latin origin, is a unique and melodic female given name. It is derived from the word 'Jane', which itself evolved from the medieval feminine form of 'John'. The name 'John' is derived from the Hebrew name 'Yochanan', meaning 'God is gracious'. Thus, Janylah shares this significant root with many other familiar names like Joan, Jean, and Jan. However, its distinctive spelling sets it apart, making it a compelling choice for those seeking an uncommon yet meaningful name.
The name Janylah appears to have gained significant popularity over time, with a notable increase in usage starting from 2008 onwards. The highest number of births recorded was in 2019 and 2020, totaling 175 births in those two years alone. However, there seems to be a recent decline in its popularity, as indicated by the decrease in birth numbers from 2021 to 2023. Despite this, Janylah has remained a popular choice overall, with a total of 973 babies being named Janylah between 2002 and 2023.
