Meaning: Yahweh or God is gracious

If you would love to connect baby with their Scandinavian roots, perhaps Jannike is the name for you. Jannike is a feminine diminutive of Jan, which can be traced back to Johannes, a Latin variation of John, the anglicized version of Yochanan. Deriving from Hebrew roots, the moniker means “Yahweh or God is gracious.” Famous namesakes include the Swedish model Jannike Björling and the Norwegian actor, artist, and singer Jannike Kruse. Perhaps baby will go into the modeling industry or will be a triple threat, or maybe they’ll be graced with different talents. Regardless, with the name Jannike, you can rest assured baby will be charming and compassionate.
