MEANING & HISTORY
What does Jeanie mean?
Jeanie is formed from Jean with the affectionate ending ie. In its familiar feminine use Jean is a form of Jane, so the longer history belongs to the John family and its Hebrew gracious-God interpretation.
The ending makes a diminutive, not a second ancient root. Jeanie can also be used independently as the complete given name.
