Meaning & Origin of Jana
Meaning: A harvest, ripe fruit picked.
Origin: Arabic (distinct from the unrelated Central European name of the same spelling).
A common claim: Sometimes assumed to mean 'God is gracious' or 'gift from God,' borrowing the meaning of the unrelated Central European name Jana (a form of Jane/Joanna). Actually: That meaning belongs to a different, unrelated name that happens to share the spelling Jana -- the Arabic name instead traces to a root meaning 'harvest' or 'ripe, picked fruit.'
