Jhania is a modern American invention, likely a creative elaboration of the name Jania or Jane. It follows the popular trend of adding a 'h' and a 'ia' suffix to traditional roots, ultimately tracing back to the Hebrew name Yochanan. It carries the same spiritual sentiment of divine favor found in the John family of names.
