Janet(s)

Janet (singular) and Janets (plural) are commonly used as a female given name, derived from the Old French "Jeanette," which is a diminutive of "Jeanne" (Joan in English). The name itself is of Hebrew origin, ultimately stemming from "Yochanan," meaning "God is gracious."

The name Janet has historically been a popular name in English-speaking countries, experiencing peaks of popularity throughout the 20th century. Variations and related names include Jane, Jan, Janie, and Jean.

Beyond its use as a given name, "Janet" may also be encountered as a surname, although this is less common. The surname, like the given name, is likely derived from the same linguistic roots.

In specific contexts, "Janet" might refer to a particular individual known publicly by that name, such as Janet Jackson, the singer and entertainer, or Janet Yellen, the economist and former United States Secretary of the Treasury. In such cases, further clarification or context would be required to determine the specific reference.
