Jeannie is a classic Scottish diminutive of Jean, itself the Scots form of Jane, ultimately derived from the Hebrew Yochanan, meaning "God is gracious." Famous bearers include Jeanie Deans, the heroic protagonist of Sir Walter Scott's novel *The Heart of Midlothian*, and country music singer Jeannie C. Riley, known for her 1968 hit "Harper Valley P.T.A." Though no major places share the name directly, the root name John appears in countless Scottish place names such as St John's Town. A delightful historical note:
