Jeanne is a French female name, equivalent to the English Joan, Jane, Jean and several historical figures in English named Joanna. (Feminine forms of John). The names derive from the Old French name Jehanne, which is derived from the Latin name Johannes, itself from the Koine Greek name Ιωαννης Ioannes, ultimately from the Biblical Hebrew name Yochanan, a short form of the name Yehochanan, meaning "Yahweh is Gracious".
