JANES Family History
This interesting and unusual name is of medieval English origin, and is found chiefly in Devon and Cornwall. The derivation is from the Middle English given name "Jan", a variant of John, from the Hebrew, meaning, "the Lord is gracious", or "Grace of the Lord", brought back to England by the Crusaders, where it began to spread in the 12th Century. It's earliest form in Europe was the Latin "Johannes", and was not specialized as a female given name until the 17th Century. In the modern idiom the variants include Jane, Jan, Jain(e), Jean, Jenn(e) and Genn, and the patronymic forms, meaning "son of Jan", Ja(y)nes, Jeynes, Jean(e)s, Jeens and Jenns...Select Audience

Looking for as many Janes as possible. I'm in the maritimes, originally from NL. I've lost my dad, my connection to our history, and would like to learn more . The fact that spell check doesnt recognize the name makes me wonder how many with the last name exist, ending we are related, are there commonalities?
