Janseranda is a user submitted name on this site. It is described as medieval Occitan although it doesn't look Occitan to me.

I wonder if it's related to Jan or the surname Janser or the Latin word seranda or the Greek derived Saranda. My guess is Jan or even janua + seranda, but the meanings random, and I'm not familiar with Occitan.
