Connection: Quranic word · Quran reference 2:35
Read the linked verse for the Quranic connection. The meaning and spelling notes explain the name itself; a word in the Quran is not necessarily the name of a person mentioned there.
Language and spelling
Jannah follows the Arabic Janna جنّة, with a doubled n. A separate rare English Jannah entry is related to a different Janna; the shared Latin spelling is not proof of Arabic origin.
