If you're looking for something short, snappy, and oh-so-adorable, take a moment to admire Jano, a boy's name of Greek and Hebrew origin. Despite being rare in the US, Jano is a common choice in many Slavic countries and has roots in Dutch and Danish culture. Translating to "God is gracious," Jano bears a spiritual meaning that will light a warm, little fire in baby's heart. As they grow, they'll always look to you for guidance and find cute ways to show appreciation for everything you do for them. Although Jano is considered a short form for many names, including Jan, Janosch, Johann, Johannes, and Alejandro, it's a strong and beautiful name on its own.
