I know that this is difficult since I tried to find the answer in order to find out how to translate it for another answer (An old domican remedy for the stomach uses Juana la Blanca, Yerba Mora and green corn (maiz verde.)
I tried to make it and managed to find the two herbs in the market place in Rio Piedras, Puerto Rico but ironically, you can't find fresh corn all the time in the markets of PR although in the schools they always talk about Taino INdian heritage and their use of corn.

I bet I can find the answer by talking to some older guys who have lived in the country in PR or the Republic and who are totally bilingual.
But, helas, even that type of person often can only say the name in Spanish.

Literally it means: "Jeanne the blond one".
"Fair Jeanne" would be a better translation.
