Jayni is a modern diminutive or variant of Jane, which ultimately derives from the Hebrew name Yochanan. It carries the same traditional meaning of divine favor but with a contemporary, playful spelling. While rare, it follows the trend of adding an 'i' ending to classic names for a softer, more unique feel.
