Jihane or Jihène (pronouncing the letter H) is an Arabic name and Persian. This name (جيهان) signifies life on earth and it is common in all Arab countries especially Egypt. Formerly, in the classical Arabic language, it has been used with the pronunciation جيهان (Jaïhaen). This word probably borrowed from the Persian language could also be linked to various other Arabic words with the root JHN:

young
closer
color of the sky towards the end of the night.

In the Persian language, the word jahan (جهان), also used as a surname, means world or universe. Poetically, the Persian origin of the name might evoke the magnificence, the splendor and majesty that surrounds us.
