      My Grace

      Variations

      Johanna, Jagannath, Jagannatha
      The name JaHanna has its origins in the United States and is derived from the English language. It is a relatively modern name, likely emerging in the late 20th century. The name is composed of two elements: Ja and Hanna. The precise etymology of Ja remains unclear, but it may be a variant of the more commonly known name Jay. Hanna is a variant spelling of the name Hannah, derived from the Hebrew name Channah, meaning grace or favor. Thus, the name JaHanna can be interpreted to signify My Grace.
