Jayne

proper noun

A surname originating as a patronymic derived from a medieval variant of John.
A female given name from Hebrew, a 20th-century spelling of Jane. "Having lunch with the Gorgons today?" Andrew had asked her. It was his oft-stated opinion that the y's in Kathryn and Jayne's names were their compensation for a missing, but coveted, male chromosome.
