Jane is almost as simple and traditional as a name can be, so it makes sense that it has so many variations. Janel, a Hebrew girl's name, is one of these alternatives, maintaining the meaning of "God is gracious" but adding a contemporary feel. You can use it as a way to introduce baby to your faith while still giving them a name that stands out from the pack. Pretty Little Liars' actress Janel Parrish gives this name an extra touch of style and edge.
