Meaning and origin of Jinan
Jinan is a plural: one garden is janna, many gardens are jinān, and the word reaches naturally toward the gardens of Paradise. Its three root letters, j-n-n, carry a sense of covering or concealing, because dense foliage hides what lies beneath it. A separate Arabic word, janān, means 'heart', and some parents choose the name with that meaning in mind instead. Girls in the Levant and Iraq often receive it.
