About the name
Jean is the Scottish and English feminine of John — "God is gracious" — pronounced with a hard J in the anglophone world and worn by a century of unflappable grandmothers, plus one Jean Grey with cosmic powers.
Jean sits around 800th in 2024 — a name every generation recognizes and almost no newborn carries, the exact profile the vintage revival feeds on.
The name is a firm handshake in one syllable. It pairs well with flowing middles (Jean Evangeline, Jean Rosalie). On our vibe map it is Vintage Elegant with Heirloom knitting needles — and X-Men clearance.
