Meaning and background
The story behind Jeanne
Jeanne has a long French personal-name history. Behind the Name describes the modern form of Old French Jehanne, a feminine form in the John name family, and identifies Jeanne d’Arc as the French name of Joan of Arc. That establishes both the linguistic relationship and a distinct historical namesake. For a dog called Jeanne, a French family or namesake connection can be preserved without changing the spelling to an English equivalent.
- Origin
- Modern French form of Jehanne, an Old French feminine form in the Iohannes/John name family. Source
