Yeni = new
Cheri = army
As far as I remember, it was established as a new army at the time of Murad I...

Yes, because I read somewhere they were "soul (jan) sacrificers".
So is Jannisery the same as Yanicheri?

I think so because many Turkish words used and still in use in Balkans.
"J" pronounce as "Y" and "E" as "A" or vice versa in most Balkan
countries.

I think you're talking about "serdengechti"s. "Ser is head in Persian as you know, and serdengechti = who sacrifices his head
