Jenda

US Popularity Rank: None

Origin: Czech

Meaning: God is gracious; Outstanding, exceptional; Responsibility

Like John, Jane, and many more, the Czech name Jenda derives from the Hebrew Yehochanan, evolving through Greek and Latin to be the gorgeous appellation it is today. This masculine title means “God is gracious” for parents wishing to welcome baby to their faith. Jenda may also have African origins in the Dagbani language, meaning “outstanding,” “exceptional,” and “responsibility,” where it is considered gender-neutral. With great power comes great responsibility, and we know baby Jenda will be well able to handle it.
