Jeneen is of Arabic origin, derived from the name Jenan, which means "garden" or "paradise". This name was popularized by American author John O'Hara in his 1934 novel "Appointment in Samarra", where it was used as a character's name. Jeneen has since gained some popularity as a given name for girls in English-speaking countries. It is pronounced as /ˈdʒiːnɪn/.
"Jeneen's popularity as a baby name peaked between 1964 and 1972, with over 55 births annually each year during this period. The highest years were 1966 and 1967, with 46 births each year. However, by the early 1980s, the name's popularity had significantly declined, with fewer than 20 births per year. Since then, it has remained relatively uncommon, with fewer than 15 births annually."
