Jeannie

Wish-granting woman's name

Jeannie is a diminutive form of Jean, itself derived from Jane or Joan.

It suggests youthful femininity or affection: Little Jeannie.

The spelling distinguishes it from the genie of folklore, though the sitcom *I Dream of Jeannie* played on this overlap.

The name peaked in mid-20th-century America and now sounds somewhat dated.
