In elementary school I had a boy in my class named Jahi. Maybe it's a
feminine form of this. I don't have any info on the name but you
could try checking that.

Probably inventedby combining various elements - Ja from Jane/Jana etc, hiah from similar Biblical endings - Tobiah, Jedidiah, Mattathiah - or from Mariah.
