Janilah is a modern American elaboration of Jane or Janelle, ultimately derived from the Hebrew name Yochanan. It combines the traditional roots of 'Jane' with the rhythmic, melodic 'ila' suffix common in contemporary naming. It conveys a sense of divine favor through its linguistic connection to John and its variants.
