Name list From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Remove ads

In many French-speaking countries, Jean is a male name derived from the Old French Jehan (or Jahan). The female equivalent is Jeanne (French: [ʒan]) and derives from the Old French Jehanne. Both names derive from the Latin name Johannes, itself from the Koine Greek name Ioannes (Ιωαννης), the name used for various New Testament characters, most notably Saint Jean-Baptiste, also known as John the Baptist. The Greek name ultimately derives from the Biblical Hebrew name Yohanan (יוֹחָנָן), meaning "YHWH/Yahweh is Gracious".
