Meaning and origin of Janan
Janan blends two languages. In Arabic, janān is the heart, the hidden centre of a person, and in Persian the almost identical jānān means a beloved one, so families tend to have both ideas in mind. Written in Arabic script, the same letters could also be read jinān, meaning gardens, which adds a hint of Paradise. Today you will meet it mainly on daughters, from Beirut and the Gulf to Lahore.
