About the name Janelle
Janelle is an English name formed by adding the feminine diminutive ending elle to Jane. Jane comes from Old French Jehanne, a feminine form of John. John derives from the Hebrew name Yochanan, meaning Yahweh is gracious, so that meaning belongs to the root name rather than to the ending. Janelle is a modern elaboration rather than a medieval name, and it is also written Janell or Janel.
