Jeanine is a feminine given name, a variant of Jeannine, which itself is a diminutive form of Jeanne. The name Jeanne is of French origin, derived from the Latin name Iohanna, which comes from the Greek name Ioanna, a feminine form of Ioannes (John). The name John has Hebrew origins, from the name Yochanan, meaning 'Yahweh is gracious.' Jeanine carries the same connotations of grace and divine favor.
