Meaning and origin of Janna
Muslims call Paradise al-jannah, 'the Garden', and Janna is a simplified spelling of that word. Behind it lies a root meaning to cover or hide, because a thriving garden shelters everything beneath its leafy canopy. Parents in Europe and the Americas often drop the final 'h'. Note that a European nickname for Johanna is spelled the same way but has an entirely different source.
