What does the name Janelle mean?

Answer 1

In all truth, Ranelle has no legitimate meaning, as it is merely a made-up name.

Regardless-- the origins likely were born through the name Ranae, and, obviously, ending in the popular suffix of -elle.

Ranae, itself, is an English variant of the French and Dutch Renée, which is the feminine form of masculine René-- ultimately originating from the Late Roman Renatus, meaning "Born Again."

As for Elle... it is both the French pronoun meaning "She," and the English diminutive of Eleanor, which holds an uncertain meaning.

Answer 2

Janelle is traditionally a diminutive (nickname) of Jane, which came from John, and ultimately means "Yahweh is Gracious."
