My grandmother's name was Janet, my aunt's name is Jan. My mom wanted to name me something similar yet different. She was working at an insurance company while pregnant with me, and one of her clients was a little old black lady named Janna. My mom really liked the name and the way it was spelled, and asked the lady if she could name me after her. The little old lady was thrilled because she had no grandaughters, and was glad that my mom would want to name me after her. So my name was then Janna.
