Jenna: meaning and origin
Jenna is a form of Jenny, which Wikipedia says is itself a pet form of Jane, Janet and Jennifer, though Jenna is often given as a name on its own. Behind the Name credits its 1980s rise to the TV series Dallas, which had a character called Jenna Wade. So Jenna is a modern spin on some very old names.
Nicknames and variants
Behind the Name lists Jen, Jenn, Jenni, Jennie, Jenny and Jena as close relatives of Jenna. Jen is the everyday short form, and Jenny takes it back to where it started.
