Origin: Hebrew

Meaning: Of John; God is gracious

If Joan, Jane, or Joanna sound too retro, try out Jonai, a rare girl's name of Hebrew origin. Although there are hundreds of John-inspired names to choose from, Jonai has the best of both worlds. Its biblical meaning, "God is gracious," still holds true, while its modern respelling will help baby embrace the future with open arms. Plus, it's never been spotted on top baby name lists, so there's little risk of it becoming the next big thing. Your darling Jonai can be the one and only!
