I would like to name a child after my grandmother z"l, however I'm not sure what names would work. Her name was Lois Jean (she was called Jean). I would like to use a name corresponding with Jean, if I can. I would also be willing to use a name corresponding with Lois. I'm at a loss, though. Could you suggest some Hebrew, Yiddish, or Ladino names to use for Jean and Lois?
Many thanks!

Jean(ne) is from Yohanna, no?
Among Yekkes, Jenny was often Shaina or Shaindel.
Among Sefardim, Jeanne could be Hanna.
I have seen Jeanne for Yentl.

I know Jeans who are Yocheved.
For Lois, how about Leah or Leora?
