Gracious; white wave
Jennelle is a modern American elaboration of Jane or Jennifer. It combines the Hebrew roots of Jane, meaning 'God is gracious,' with the Cornish and Welsh elements of Jennifer, which refer to a 'white wave' or 'fair spirit.' The suffix '-elle' adds a French-inspired feminine flair.
