Originating from African-American culture, Janae is a modern and distinctive given name for girls. Pronounced 'juh-nay', it's believed to have emerged during the 1970s as an alternative spelling of the more traditional Jane. While its meaning isn't definitive, some believe it may be associated with the Latin word 'graced by God'. Janae gained popularity in the United States during the late 20th century and continues to be a unique choice among parents today.
"Janae had six births in 1989, making up all of its total births for that year."
