Janse

Every time baby hears their name, Janse, they’ll be reminded to appreciate and learn from those who came before them. A masculine name, Janse could be a shortened form of the Dutch last name Jansen, meaning “son of Jan.” Jan is a variant of Johannes or John, so if you hold anyone with those titles close to your heart, you might just have found the perfect way to honor them. Just like John and Johannes, Jan derives from the Hebrew name Yochanan, which translates to “Yahweh is gracious.” Perhaps little Janse will see their name as a symbol of their faith and its important role in their life story.
