Jancis is a bit character in one of my favorite book series about Pern. For what little is written about her shows the ambition to think outside the box and follow others to make the world a better place.
A lot of Pern's names are based off of a mix of European backgrounds which fit the hyur guidelines and is also fairly androgynous.
I used the name once before many years ago in a MUD called Achaea.
Piemur is involved in a large amount of the controversial "progress" that occurs after the awakening of the AIVAS, and together with Jancis, granddaughter of Mastersmith Farandel, rebuilds one of the first computers. Piemur later marries Jancis, and has a son, Pierjan.

Milburga is the name of a Saint. Another inspiration for the conjurer's background. Fun fun.
And appropriately her feast day is today. Her feast day is 23 February.
