Detailed Slovak etymology analysis

Janina patrí do rodiny mien Ján a Jana; v poľštine je ustálenou ženskou podobou mena Jan. Konečným etymologickým základom je hebrejské Jochanan, tvorené prvkom odkazujúcim na Božie meno JHWH a koreňom ch-n-n označujúcim prejavenie milosti. Význam sa tradične vykladá ako „Boh je milostivý“. Slovanské utvorenie podoby Janina nepredstavuje samostatný etymologický koreň.

Sources and scholarly methodology: Vzťah mien Janina a Jana potvrdzuje Rada Języka Polskiego PAN. Hebrejský základ a poľské utvorenie opisuje publikácia Imiona – dziedzictwo kultury. Domácke tvary predstavujú možnosti rodinného oslovenia, nie rebríček obľúbenosti; medzinárodné ekvivalenty zahŕňajú príbuzné podoby spoločného základu. Konkrétne heslo v monografii Milana Majtána nebolo priamo overené, preto sa jej tento profil nepripisuje.
