Jillanna

Help baby embrace their wide-eyed wonder, no matter how old they get, with a name like Jillanna. This feminine moniker is a respelling of Julianna or Gillian, which both have Latin and Greek roots from Julian. With meanings like “youthful” and “downey-haired,” Jillanna has a fresh feel to it that is hard to deny. Some sources also connect Julian—and, therefore, Jillanna—with Jupiter, so baby could be considered a “child of the Gods.” Little Jill will no doubt love that their name subtly and seamlessly brings together the old and the new. For something a little extra, you could take inspiration from the name Anna, as well. With its Hebrew roots, Anna offers two definitions of “favor” and “grace,” and imbibes Jillanna with even more meaning!
