The Top 10 Most Famous Women Named Jane
For the past year I've been compiling famous people to list on my name numerology website. These are all noted individuals, but who are the most famous? Today let's look at famous Janes.
The most famous women (based on online chatter) with the first name Jane are:
10. Jane Powell, actress in the 1940s (Seven Brides for Seven Brothers, Royal Wedding)
9. Jane Wyman, actress (Johnny Belinda, Falcon Crest) and first wife of US President Ronald Regan
8. Jane Russell, actress in the 1950s (Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, Macao)
7. Jane Krakowski, actress (Ally McBeal, 30 Rock)
6. Jane Lynch, actress (Best in Show, Glee)
5. Jane Addams, 1931 Nobel Peace Prize winner
4. Jane Goodall, chimpanzee researcher and advocate
3. Jane Eyre, Title character in the novel by Charlotte Bronte
2. Jane Fonda, actress (Klute, The China Syndrome, On Golden Pond)
...and the most famous Jane is...
1. Jane Austen, author of "Sense and Sensibility" and "Pride and Prejudice"
Not making the top ten list were Jane Porter - romance novel author, Jane Smiley - novelist (A Thousand Acres, Moo), Jane Seymour - third wife of King Henry the 8th, Jane Kaczmarek - actress (Malcolm in the Middle), Jane Seymour - actress (Live and Let Die, Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman), Jane Curtin - comedian and actress (Saturday Night Live original cast, Third Rock From the Sun), Jane Whitefield - main character in a series of mystery novels by Thomas Perry, Jane Pauley - television journalist, Jane Wyatt - actress (Father Knows Best, Star Trek), Jane Roe - plaintiff landmark Roe v. Wade lawsuit, Jane Bennet - a charactger in the novel "Pride and Prejudice", and Jane Jetson - a character on animated series the Jetsons.
The top five most famous Janes were an extremely diverse group with an author, an actress, the title character from an iconic novel, a scientist, and a nobel peace prize winner. I compiled this list by searching for each of the Janes on a number of search engines and ranking them by the number of web pages, discussion forums, photos, videos, etc that are available online.
