Meanings

A female given name, form of Jennifer.

Jenny was originally the diminutive form of Jane, but it is now associated with Jennifer.
It may also be spelled Jennie, which was the most common spelling before the 20th century.

Fem. personal name, originally another form of Jane, Janey and a diminutive of Jane or Janet; in modern use (mid-20c.) typically a shortening of Jennifer. Jenny is attested from c. 1600 as female equivalent of jack (n.), and like it applied to animals (especially of birds, of a heron, a jay, but especially Jenny wren, 1640s, in bird-fables the consort of Robin Redbreast). Also like jack used of machinery; Akrwright's spinning jenny (1783) is said to have been named for his wife, but is perhaps rather a corruption of gin (n.2) "engine."

Feminine form of John: God has been gracious. White, fair, smooth.
