Gracious
Shanie is most commonly used as a diminutive of Jane or Shana, both of which trace back to the Hebrew name Yochanan. It conveys the idea of divine favor and grace. While it can also be a variant of the Irish name Shane, in this feminine form it is often treated as a modern, playful nickname-turned-given-name.
