Janessa Name Meaning

Janessa is a compound of two names, Jane and Vanessa. Jane is a feminine form of John, derived from the Hebrew Yohanan, meaning "God is gracious." Meanwhile, Vanessa was invented by author Jonathan Swift for a character in his poem "Cadenus and Vanessa." He arrived at it by taking "Van" from the last name of his friend Esther Vanhomrigh and adding "Essa," a pet form of Esther. Esther is believed to mean "star," but it could also mean "hidden" or "secret" in Hebrew. However, Swift's use of Vanessa might also be associated with the Greek word "Vanessa," which means "butterfly." Therefore, Janessa carries the beautiful meanings of "God is gracious" and "butterfly."
