Jante, of Scandinavian origin, is a unisex given name that has gained international recognition. It is derived from the Danish-Norwegian word 'jente', which translates to 'girl' or 'young woman'. The name Jante has been popularized in recent years by its usage in literary works and popular culture, notably in the context of the 'Janteloven' concept introduced by Norwegian author Aksel Sandemose. While it may seem unusual for a name with such a specific linguistic root to transcend gender barriers, Jante's unique sound and spelling have contributed to its appeal as an androgynous moniker.
"Jante experienced consistent popularity with 7 births each year from 1987 to 1988, resulting in a total of 14 babies named Jante during this period."
