"Variant of Janelle"
The name Janeal is commonly a female name from the "American" origin.
Janeal is a variant spelling of Janelle, a feminine name built on Jane (from French Jeanne) with the feminine ending -elle. Forms of this shape, ending in -al rather than -elle, begin appearing in United States birth records in the late 1930s. The spelling changes the look of the name without introducing a separate root or meaning.
Janelle means "Gracious, merciful. A feminine form of John.".
The pronunciation of Janeal is juh-NEEL.
