Jeanae is an uncommon and unique given name of American origin, derived from the French name Jeanne, which means "God is gracious." It's a variant spelling of the more traditional Jeanette or Jeannette, but it offers a distinct touch with its modern and stylish appearance. Jeanae gained popularity in the United States during the mid-20th century, peaking in the 1960s and 1970s before tapering off to its current rarity. Today, it's still recognized as an appealing choice for parents seeking a distinctive yet familiar name for their daughter.
The name Jeanae experienced a surge in popularity between 1987 and 1993 with over 7 births annually during those years. However, it appears to have declined thereafter, with fewer than 9 births per year since 1996, except for a brief spike in 2000 and 2001. Overall, there were 149 births of Jeanae from 1977 to 2008.
