In almost every country, the name has changed slightly, which is a linguistic norm. So it turns out that the meaning of the name Jeanne is "Yahweh is merciful" or more literally "God is merciful."
The first syllable of the name is identical to my last name. Since my friends and other can’t seem to pronounce my last name the right way, I think they will mispronounce this name as well.
I think it's a wonderful Russian name. It's not difficult for people who aren't familiar with the language to pronounce. I like it and it's growing on me more each day.
My mom's friend adopted a little girl from Kazakhstan named Zhanna. She's about eleven years old now, and she likes her name. The only thing is she thinks it is a little hard for people to pronounce or spell when meeting her, but after the first time, they don't ever forget. It sounds a little different and exotic, but not too weird-sounding. I think it's a good name.
