Jeaneen is of American origin, derived from the French Geneviève. It means "gracious" or "well-born," reflecting its noble roots. The name gained popularity in the United States during the mid-20th century and has since been a unique choice for parents seeking an uncommon yet elegant name for their daughters.
Jeaneen experienced a significant rise and fall in popularity throughout the decades, with its peak occurring in the late 1940s to early 1950s. The name's highest point was reached in 1954 with an impressive 22 births, followed by another notable spike of 31 births in 1967. However, from the mid-1970s onwards, there was a steady decline in its usage, with fewer than 20 births recorded annually after 1974. The name's popularity continued to wane throughout the 1980s and 1990s, with only five births recorded each year in 1988 and 1991. Overall, Jeaneen was a popular name for girls born between the 1930s and 1960s, but it appears to have fallen out of favor since then.
