Common masculine given name
John ( JON) is a common male name in the English language ultimately of Hebrew origin. The English form is from Middle English Ion , Ihon , Jon, Jan (mid-12c.), itself from Old French Jan , Jean , Jehan (Modern French Jean ),[2] from Medieval Latin Johannes , altered form of Late Latin Ioannes ,[2] or the Middle English personal name is directly from Medieval Latin,[3] which is from the Greek name Ioannis (Ιωάννης), originally borne by Jews transliterating the Hebrew name Yochanan (יוֹחָנָן ), the contracted form of the longer name Yehochanan (יְהוֹחָנָן ), meaning "YHWH is Gracious" or "YHWH is Merciful". There are numerous forms of the name in different languages; these were formerly often simply translated as "John" in English but are increasingly left in their native forms (see sidebar).[4]
It is among the most commonly given names in Anglophone , Arabic, European, Latin American , Iranian , and Turkic countries. Traditionally in the Anglosphere, it was the most common, although it has not been since the latter half of the 20th century. John owes its unique popularity to two highly revered saints , John the Baptist (forerunner of Jesus Christ ) and the apostle John (traditionally considered the author of the Gospel of John ); the name has since been chosen as the regnal or religious name of many emperors , kings , popes and patriarchs . Initially, it was a favorite name among the Greeks , but it flourished in all of Europe after the First Crusade .[5]
Origins John , a name of Hebrew origin, is very popular in the Western World, and has given many variants depending on the language: Shaun , Eoin , Ian , Juan , Ivan , and Yahya . Click on the image to see the diagram in full detail.The name John is a theophoric name originating from the Hebrew name יוֹחָנָן (Yôḥānān ), or in its longer form יְהוֹחָנָן (Yəhôḥānān ), meaning "YHWH has been gracious".[1] Several obscure figures in the Old Testament bore this name, and it grew in popularity once borne by the high priest Johanan (fl. 407 BC) and especially by King John Hyrcanus (d. 104 BC). In the Second Temple period, it was the fifth most popular male name among Jews in Judaea[6] and was borne by several important rabbis , such as Yochanan ben Zakai and Yochanan ben Nuri .
Germanic derivatives The Germanic languages (including German , English and Scandinavian ) produced the masculine Johann (also Johan (Dutch)), Joan,[7] Jan and Janke (Dutch), Jannis , Jens (Danish and Frisian ), Jóhannes , Jóhann , (Icelandic and Faroese ), Jöns (Swedish ), and Hans (German, Dutch and Scandinavian).[8]
Name statistics John was the most popular name given to male infants in the United States until 1924, and though its use has fallen off gradually since then, John was still the 20th most common name for boys on the Social Security Administration 's list of names given in 2006.[9]
John was also among the most common masculine names in the United Kingdom, but by 2004 it had fallen out of the top 50 names for newborn boys in England and Wales .[10] By contrast Jack, which was a nickname for John but is now established as a name in its own right, was the most popular name given to newborn boys in England and Wales every year from 1995 to 2005.[10] [11] It is also the third most common name in the United States, with an estimated 3.18 million individuals as of 2021 according to the Social Security Administration.[12]
