I assume "Janu" is the accusative form of "Jana", indicating that Jana is the recipient rather than the source of the love in each sentence.

That assumption is correct. You see the same conjugation form in other Slavic languages, including Russian.

Nouns/names/numbers have declensions. Verbs have conjugations.

I think the coverall term that btilly wanted was "inflections".
