My husband and I chose Janet because it means “gracious gift of God/ God’s gracious gift.” Also, we chose this name because we wanted to name our daughter after my husband’s late grandma who passed away in May 2024 when we found out we were expecting our baby. We also love the name because it’s traditional and it’s a name we don’t hear a lot of now a days.
