My great grandmother was a Juanita, she was also named after an aunt - so I assume the aunt was born in the 1880's. They were white & lived in Tennessee & Texas. I was always confused by the history of white people using Hispanic names during that period. It's interesting to me that we don't do that anymore.

Juanita is the name of both my mother and my maternal great-grandmother. It is a very beautiful name. My great-grandmother was born in 1919, and I'm told Spanish names were popular among the white American population. This would make sense as my family isn't Hispanic.

Personally, I believe that Juanita is actually a very pretty name, it means 'beautiful' in Spanish.

Juanita doesn't mean "beautiful" in Spanish. That's "hermosa" or "bella". You may be thinking of "bonita" (pretty). Juanita is a feminine form of Juan (John in English). Juan comes from the Hebrew name Yochanan, which means "Yahweh (God) is gracious". So, ultimately, Juanita means "Yahweh is gracious".

John means "Yahweh is gracious." Yahweh was a Hebrew God so, "God is Gracious".

I know one Juanita, though apparently it's really common. I guess in my area popular names elsewhere just do not appear. I only know of one Ashley, two Jessica's, no Emily's, though there are tons of Zoe's and I only know one Michael! Weird, it's actually quite funny reading these long debates about so called popular names when I don't know a single person who is called that.
Juanita is a pretty name, though a little childish for my liking, but I really do like it.

Juanita means Jenny in Spanish!

Actually Juanita is Janey, not Jenny. Since Juanita is a Spanish variant of JOHN, so it would be Jane. It is also the Spanish form of Jeanette.
