Johnene is of American origin, derived from the Hebrew 'Yochanan', meaning 'graced by God'. It's a variant spelling of Janine, which itself evolved from Jeanette and Jeanne. This unique name gained popularity in the United States during the mid-20th century but has since become less common. It is often associated with individuals born in the 1950s to 1970s. The name Johnene carries a certain vintage charm, reflecting the cultural trends of its era while maintaining a distinctive identity.
"The name Johnene was quite popular in the early to mid-1960s with eight babies named each year in both 1962 and 1963. After a dip in popularity, it resurged slightly with five births in both 1968 and 1969. In total, there were twenty-six children named Johnene over these years."
