Jannique/Janique is a rather rare French name and of course there's Janette, Janinne, Janinna also but I've never heard of 'JEAN-eeta'. It would be Jeanette (ZHAHN-et in French) perhaps pronounced JEAN-et-a along the lines of Mariette being turned into Marietta. At any rate, in meaning it's still based on John in English, Jean in French, Juan in Spanish, and thus is just a French version of Juanita - 'Yah is gracious' or 'God is gracious' if you like.
