Gracious
Yanique is a modern French-influenced elaboration of the name Yana or Jan, which are derivatives of Jane or John. It follows the stylistic pattern of adding the French suffix '-ique' to established names, popular in Caribbean and African American communities. It ultimately shares the same Hebrew roots as Joanna, meaning 'God is gracious'.
