I don't know exactly how much history is to it, but it has to have been around at least 80-90 years.
Laura Bush's mother's name is
Jenna, and I believe
Laura is close to 60. So, that would make her mother between 80 and 90.
As for usage in literature, movies and such, I haven't a clue. I watch a lot of old movies and I don't think I've ever heard the name used.
