When you feel clever that you immediately associated Yohanan with John but later realized you've gone your whole life not realizing Juan is a Spanish form of John.
So Juan from Spain, Giovanni from Italy, Shaun, John and Ian from the UK, Hans from Denmark, Ivan from Russia, and Johan from Germany all have the same name. I love that.
Spanish clarification about Juan: - The female is Juana. - Everything that ends in "ito" or "ita" refers to small(masculine and femenine respectively). Therefore Juanita is a very young (or small) Juana.
Yahya is actually a mistranslation used for John the Baptist in the Quran. The actual Arabic word used for John the Baptist is yohanaan. Yahya is the Arabic word of another old testament person known as Jehiah.
@@jpc7503 it's not a mistranslation. Arabic has dialects. The Qur'an uses the Hejazi Dialect. While Yohannan is only used in levantine or Palestinian dialects.
@@mokieth3456 In every semetic dialects(Arabic,Hebrew,Aramaic) Yahya is the transliteration of Jehiah. Since self proclaimed prophet Muhammad had very less knowledge about Abrahamic Faith, he mistook Jehiah to be John the Baptist.
My moms name is Johanna. She’s named after her grandmother, who’s named after HER mother, who’s named after HER mother, who’s named after HER mother and so on and so on, all the way back to Ireland. The funny part of all this is that her childhood tomboy nickname was “Hank” which is apparently just a more derived version of Johanna. She’s gonna love that! 😂
But what about when you realize how many names are likely derived from Mohammed? Hamed, Hamdan, Ahmed are just three that I can think of now. All 3 are extremely popular names throughout the Arab world.
Actually the levant and ethiopia are the areas were the name kept very similar to the original... I am syrian and I know a person called Yohana... So ya.. I think we kept it better than how europians did 😅
i live in israel we speak hebrew here. yohanan was a common name until people decided its too similar to the word chnun which means nerd so now im seeing a lot more people named "Yoni". but there are still a lot of yohanans here
And then you get South Africa that, despite being influenced so greatly by the Dutch, English and even some French, has a lot of women being called Juanita (said with a Germanic J sound though, not the way the Spanish say it)
My mom: "I know you're name is Johannes but I call you by Giovanni at random because that's Johannes in Italian" Me as a kid: That's nonsense, you can't just "translate" a name into another language Me now: "Oh, she was right"
Just clarifying: Younis/Yunis/Yunus, while sounding really similar to Yohanan, is actually a different prophet. In Hebrew he's Yonah (means "dove"), in Arabic he's Yunus/Yunis, and in some European languages he's Jonas.
Younis is not derived from Yohanan because it is simply another prophet... However, the arabic version of Yohanan do exist. It is Yohana ( i am syrian and I personally know a friend with this name) في ناس كثير عنا اسمها يوحنا و هذا الاسم طبعاً مشهور بين المسيحيين مو المسلمين

I am Yohanan Yokamo, Director Fraud & Money Laundering Department in John F. Kennedy International Airport NY. We are rounding up for the last Quarter of the auditing, all abandon Consignment in US Airports are being transfer to our facilities here for inspection and confiscation. During our investigation, I discovered an abandoned shipment on your name which was transferred to our facility here in John F. Kennedy International Airport and when scanned it revealed an undisclosed sum of money in a Metal Trunk Box. For over three years now that i why i got in contact with you. The consignment was abandoned because the Content was not properly declared by the consignee as money, rather it was declared as personal effect to avoid diversion by the Diplomatic Agent also the Diplomat inability to pay for Non Inspection Fees. On my assumption, the boxes will contain more than $6M and the consignment is still left in storage house till today through a Courier Dispatch Service. The Consignment is a metal box with weight of about 242LBS (Internal dimension: W61 x H156 x D73 (cm). Effective capacity: 680 L.) Approximately. The details of the consignment including your name the official document from United Nation office in London are tagged on the Metal Trunk box. I want to use my good office and clear the Consignment and deliver it to you. If you WILL ACCEPT MY CONDITION AND want us to transact the delivery for mutual benefit, you should provide your name, Phone Number and full address, to cross check if it corresponds with the address on the official document including the name of nearest Airport around you and other details. You should send the required details to me for onward delivery. All communication must be held extremely confidential. I can get everything concluded within 24 to 48 hours upon your acceptance and proceed to your address for delivery. But it must be on the condition that you will give me 30% of the amount contained in the boxes and I must get assurance from you concerning my 30% before I will proceed. I want us to transact this business and share the money, since the shipper has abandoned it and ran away. I will pay for the Non inspection fee and arrange for the boxes to be moved out of this Airport to your address, once I am through, I will deploy the services of a secured shipping Company to provide the security needs to your doorstep. Or I can bring it by myself to avoid any more trouble. But I will share it 70% to you and 30% to me. But you have to assure me of my 30%. Do respond to me if you are interested to conclude this with me. Looking forward to hear from you
Jack comes from John because John was shortened to Jan in the middle ages in some dialects. It was considered "cute" to add "ken" on the end of a name to make a nickname, so a cute way to refer to a young boy might be to call him "Janken". This was shortened by dropping the Ns to get Jack, and it's also the origin of the last name Jenkins, following the Welsh/Celtic form of adding -s or -es onto names to make a son-of form, which also gives us names like Hughes (from Hugh). Interestingly, it's the celtic form (due to a pre-latin celtic population in Iberia) that gives Spanish it's last name forms. The difference is that they used -ez instead of -es to make last names from first names. So we have Gomez, Rodriguez, Sanchez, etc. meaning essentially (son of) Gome, Rodrigo, Sancho, etc. Gome is from Gothic Guma which meant "man", similar to how Carl means man in western Germanic languages. It's also cognate with Latin Homo, which gives modern French homme.
You did not mention how the name is pronounced in the Arab world which I will tell you We have two versions, one is Yohana which is used by Christian Arabs and the other one is Yehya which is used by Muslim Arabs.
@فهمي كتاني Yehya is the name of an Israeli Prophet, it is NOT an Arabic name. ar.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D9%8A%D8%AD%D9%8A%D9%89_%D8%A8%D9%86_%D8%B2%D9%83%D8%B1%D9%8A%D8%A7
@Golden Eagle yes thats true, Yahya is actually derived from the name jehiah, another biblical character that appeared in the old testament not from the name yohanan

In the wonderful movie “The Man From Earth”, the main character tells his compatriots that he was simply, and always known as John. Fits this topic wonderfully.
as an Italian, the name "gian" is used very often at the beginning of other names, creating a wider diversity of names than in the video. For example, Gianpaolo (John Paul), Gianpiero, Gianmarco...

"It was specifically Lithuanians who gave us Jonas". No, they didn't. Lithuanian name Jonas (pronounced Yonas; most of the names in this video should have "j" pronounced like "y", not "dʒ") indeed comes from Yohanan, whereas the English Jonas comes from Jonah, and has nothing to do with Lithuanian Jonas.

Hmaid Hamdan hamdi hammadi hmaidi ahmadi hmeda ihmad And then all the additives to the name like (Abu)Mohammed, (Bo)hmaid, (Aal)-hamdan, (Bin)-hamood, and then each of those can be mixed in with (abdul/abdel/abd)to each and every derivation like abdulhamid, Aal-abdulhamid, but not all can take the prefix abdul/abdel/abd. for example my name is Ahmad Mohammed Abdel rassoul Mohammed abd-elaal ismaeel mohammed itabakh. so my name is litterly: The praiseworthly praiseworthy slave (as in follower but im going for literal direct translation) of the praiseworthy follower of the most high ismaeel(yearner to God). the praise worthy Chef. so, "The praiseworthly praiseworthy slave of the praiseworthy follower of the most high yearner to God the praise worthy CHEF."

In German some variations are: johannes, Johann, jonah, Jonas, Jan Jens, Jasmin, John, etc. Some female names are. Jana, Janina, Jasmine, Johanna, Hanna,
Actually the 'Gio' and 'Gia' syllables in italian are pronounced exactly as you would say 'Jo' and 'Ja' in English, that 'i' is not really pronounced since its purpose is to make the 'G' sound soft because we also have the hard G sound. Great video, that's some really interesting stuff.
So, does the name Giovanna retain the original meaning found in the the Hebrew Yohanan (God is Gracious)? What does Giorno Giovanna means in Italian? Giorno means "day", right? Does Giorno Giovanna mean "the day that God is Gracious" or "the day to be grateful to God"?
@@SeymoreSparda Giovanni/a is simply a name in Italian, just like "John" is in English. "Giorno Giovanna" would translate to English as "Day Jane" or something like that.
They're not pronounced in the same way. Jo and Ja are pronounced Jo and Ja in English, but Gio and Gia are pronounced like you would pronounce Jo and Ja in English, BUT WITH FLAIR !!!!
@@varana Oh, I was only halfway serious when i posed that question. You see, if you google the name Giorno Giovanna, you'll find that there is a particular ongoing anime series starring a character named that. You said that it would translate into English as "Day Jane", right? But what does Jane mean? Take this case, for instance; mashable.com/article/assman-vanity-plate-truck-decal/#xSX92BdWBOqm www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-6702331/Canadian-man-Assman-gets-printed-truck.html A Canadian man refuses to change his surname, even when people mocks him for it. What he still doesn't realized is that, he could still retain his surname without having people shame him for it. If only he dug deeper into history and the etymology of his surname, he'd find that it's possible to change it into something that won't bring shame to him.The "Ass" part of his surname means spear, right? That means, his surname means the career medieval spearman, right? Do you know how many names that hold the same meaning as that in modern English? A lot! The language that we know now as English originated from the Anglos and Saxons (along with the Frisians and the Juts) that settled in England after Rome left the island. And his surname has its origin in German Saxony, dammit! www.baby-names-meanings.net/names-that-mean/spear,3.html Spear in Anglo-Saxon is "Garr", right? He could have changed his surname to Algar, Caine, Corrin, Edgar, Garry, Gerald, Garnet,etc., and still be able to trace his origin in the future. My point is, don't take your history and name for granted. Everybody should check what their names means.
This was very interesting. Love the etymology of names! Someone recommended your channel on Reddit, but it was your creative title that made me click. 😊
You forgot the surname Jones, which also comes from John, Eoin is the older Irish version of Sean which is really the Irish version of the English name John.
In the Philippines, where we were both colonized by the Spaniards and the Americans, we received two variations of Yohanan: The Spanish varieties: Juan, Juanito, Juana, Juanita and the English varieties: John (and probably Johnny as well) and Jack From the Spanish "Juan", Filipinos formed variations like 'Juaning' which became 'Aning' (my grandfather was called that). However, it's important to note that Spanish names became less common to the younger generations who have since been given American/English names. From the English "John" and "Jack", Filipinos formed variations like 'Jan', 'Janjan', 'jack-jack'. Sidenote: being a predominantly Catholic country, John Paul II became a very popular figure and a lot of Filipinos in the millennial generation were named "John Paul", which in turn got their own variations 'Jan Paul' both are often shortened as 'JP' (a very very common nickname) John would often also be combined with other English names, (John Carlo, John Michael, John Lloyd which is the name of a popular local actor here) "John Mark" is a popular example which commonly got the nickname "JM"
约翰 is the most common translation and the one most accepted, but there have been some absolutely ridiculous translations of "John" in media. The most laughable I've heard was 朱尔 (which, as any Mandarin speaker will instantly recognize, sounds like "pig's ear" when pronounced) from a movie whose name I can't remember.
Great video man! BTW in Israel the name stayed Yohanan, although it’s mainly elders who carry that name today, while the name Sean / Shawn is becoming more and more popular these days.
"Juanita" Is not a legal name, but a nickname for women called "Juana". In Spanish the suffix "-ito/a" means "little". It is very common in familiar environments to add this after the name of the child. Juanita means the little Juana, Pablito means the little Pablo, Teresita means the little Teresa...

I want to use my good office and clear the Consignment and deliver it to you. If you WILL ACCEPT MY CONDITION AND want us to transact the delivery for mutual benefit, you should provide your name, Phone Number and full address, to cross check if it corresponds with the address on the official document including the name of nearest Airport around you and other details. You should send the required details to me for onward delivery.
All communication must be held extremely confidential. I can get everything concluded within 24 to 48 hours upon your acceptance and proceed to your address for delivery. But it must be on the condition that you will give me 30% of the amount contained in the boxes and I must get assurance from you concerning my 30% before I will proceed.
I want us to transact this business and share the money, since the shipper has abandoned it and ran away. I will pay for the Non inspection fee and arrange for the boxes to be moved out of this Airport to your address, once I am through, I will deploy the services of a secured shipping Company to provide the security needs to your doorstep. Or I can bring it by myself to avoid any more trouble. But I will share it 70% to you and 30% to me. But you have to assure me of my 30%. Do respond to me if you are interested to conclude this with me.
Looking forward to hear from you
Your name sounds like Yokomo, a Japanese company
@Manuk, Psychonaut you talk too much
So basically, all English names came from Yohanan😂
A ton do, even names like Joshua are derived from Yeshua and that's where we also get Jesus from
Ha, I have a unique name, William which came from Wilhelm which means good helmet.
So, can you guys tell me where's "Raul" came from?
Ra Alf it raul was an viking name or something and the English variant is ralph en german ralf.
@@kianvdk9154 wow, thanks
Jack comes from John because John was shortened to Jan in the middle ages in some dialects. It was considered "cute" to add "ken" on the end of a name to make a nickname, so a cute way to refer to a young boy might be to call him "Janken". This was shortened by dropping the Ns to get Jack, and it's also the origin of the last name Jenkins, following the Welsh/Celtic form of adding -s or -es onto names to make a son-of form, which also gives us names like Hughes (from Hugh). Interestingly, it's the celtic form (due to a pre-latin celtic population in Iberia) that gives Spanish it's last name forms. The difference is that they used -ez instead of -es to make last names from first names. So we have Gomez, Rodriguez, Sanchez, etc. meaning essentially (son of) Gome, Rodrigo, Sancho, etc. Gome is from Gothic Guma which meant "man", similar to how Carl means man in western Germanic languages. It's also cognate with Latin Homo, which gives modern French homme.
You did not mention how the name is pronounced in the Arab world which I will tell you
We have two versions, one is Yohana which is used by Christian Arabs and the other one is Yehya which is used by Muslim Arabs.
Yehye is also sometimes used, oddly enough, by Germen-speaking Jews 0.o
@فهمي كتاني Weird. Yahya in Turkish is cognate with John
@فهمي كتاني Yehya is the name of an Israeli Prophet, it is NOT an Arabic name.
ar.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D9%8A%D8%AD%D9%8A%D9%89_%D8%A8%D9%86_%D8%B2%D9%83%D8%B1%D9%8A%D8%A7
@Golden Eagle That's true
@Golden Eagle yes thats true, Yahya is actually derived from the name jehiah, another biblical character that appeared in the old testament not from the name yohanan
This channel really suits my passion on geography and mapping. When I subscribed to your channel you only had about 20K subscribers, and 4 weeks later you already have 170K?! Well done! I wish you'll have 1 mil subscribers by the end of 2019!
Same! But I am not surprised, he does great videos
150k in 4 weeks? WTF? 👀
INCREDIBLE STUFF! 👏👏👏
Tidur. Udah malem
In the wonderful movie “The Man From Earth”,
the main character tells his compatriots that he was simply, and always known as John. Fits this topic wonderfully.
I was wondering if someone was going to reference this movie, or I would have to. Such an amazing movie.
Congrarulations, you pronounced the irish word Siobhan perfectly without realising it.
as an Italian, the name "gian" is used very often at the beginning of other names, creating a wider diversity of names than in the video. For example, Gianpaolo (John Paul), Gianpiero, Gianmarco...
João is pronounced "zh-u-ão" (with ão being a nasal dipthong similar to "un"); not "djao"
Also, João has a feminine in Portuguese: Joana
Eu ri muito
"Jau" is so cringy...... ew... I can't even...
JAW

just know I was here when this video was titled “The Geography of Yohanan”
"This name got it's start in Hebrew and is actually the shorten version of the name....however thats pronounced..." lol nice save
Even though that was the version with the highest chances of getting it right because that was IPA, i.e. phonetic alphabet. :D
@@varana lol
*Name Explain would like to know your location*
The quality of your videos only get better with each upload. Keep up the awesome work 👍
And of course the most important variation of this name : JOJO
This is one of the most interesting channels on TH-cam! Thank you.
Me starting the video: who da fuq has the name Yohanan.
2 minutes in: well I have Johannes.. Does this mean that I just offended My own name?
Technically
In Romania is Ion or Ioan or Ioana for girls and so on. My middle name is Ioan so it was fun to learn about my middle name
It is also a popular name af over here.
"It was specifically Lithuanians who gave us Jonas".
No, they didn't. Lithuanian name Jonas (pronounced Yonas; most of the names in this video should have "j" pronounced like "y", not "dʒ") indeed comes from Yohanan, whereas the English Jonas comes from Jonah, and has nothing to do with Lithuanian Jonas.
3:05 Eoin is actually pronounced as “Owen”, my brother has the exact name haha
Edit: And to my knowledge (and with the possibility that my knowledge is wrong) Eoin came from Ireland
Named your brother Eoin but you "luckynumberseven"
It is easy to guess who the favourite child is
I have that name it’s .... been a struggle
Yup 😌
Good to know that when we greet our homies "yo", we are also praising God
Ok Yohanan, how many derivative you want?
Yohanan : Yes
loved the “and is actually the shorten version of the name, how ever that’s pronounced”
Crazy how accurate you are about the name changes, Im a Chaldean from northern Iraq and my name is Yohana, which means exactly what you said it did, when I came to the states I could’ve changed it but decided not to
I'm Dutch and I've _never_ heard of the name "Hank". Googling it yields very little, except that 64 persons in all of Holland had this name in 2014. There's a tiny village called Hank. That's it.
Otherwise fun video :D
Man this is the most interesting video i heard in a while. Thank you Atlas Pro :))
3:56
I’m brazilian and now i’m wanna die
I felt physical pain when he said that... that monstrosity...
Kkkkkkk realmente é triste essa parte do video
How is it pronounced?
@@appleslover ã is a nasal sound, and it's hard for non portugese speakers to pronounce.
He said it as Jao
The name Mohammad also has many different variations:
-Mohammad
-Ahmad
-Hamad
-Hmood
-Hamood
-Hamada
-AbdulHameed
...etc
Hamida
Hamdia
(Female variants)
interesting.
Mehmed and Mahmud
Except that these are different words and hence names.
Hmaid
Hamdan
hamdi
hammadi
hmaidi
ahmadi
hmeda
ihmad
And then all the additives to the name like (Abu)Mohammed, (Bo)hmaid, (Aal)-hamdan, (Bin)-hamood, and then each of those can be mixed in with (abdul/abdel/abd)to each and every derivation like abdulhamid, Aal-abdulhamid, but not all can take the prefix abdul/abdel/abd.
for example my name is
Ahmad Mohammed Abdel rassoul Mohammed abd-elaal ismaeel mohammed itabakh.
so my name is litterly: The praiseworthly praiseworthy slave (as in follower but im going for literal direct translation) of the praiseworthy follower of the most high ismaeel(yearner to God). the praise worthy Chef.
so, "The praiseworthly praiseworthy slave of the praiseworthy follower of the most high yearner to God the praise worthy CHEF." Ya boi imma be cooking for you tonight.
Boi I'm sure you can connect Yohanan to Alexander or Siegfried somehow
How about Sebastian
No, no you can't
How about Alfred?
Oof when you highlighted Ukraine it owned Crimea
Putin:👀
-Putin has joined the chat-
de facto maps dont seem to be the speciality here, he prolly just looked at the first map google gives out
@@DarklightSpirit or it was a conscious decision, because fuck Putin
Crimea River
I mean for Estonia he missed the islands Saaremaa and Hiiumaa to the west
Okay, that was officially the most mind-blowing video I've seen this year... And this is 2020... That's saying something.
In New Zealand, the native Māori word for John is Hone, and in Samoa and Tonga it's Sione and Soane.
Sadly you missed out ethiopia/eritrea that often use the name yohannes. My last name is yohannes and it's from the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church one of the oldest standing christian churchs in the world. Nice video all the same.
I see your channel with millions of subscribers in the distant future
Near future*
@@konradlemanski8195 yep
what he already has that much? I recall subbing when he had just a few thousands... and that's not really long time ago!
Six of your patreon people john-based surnames, I saw a few Johnsons, two Jones's and a Jankovic.
And one Gianni
So Yankovic comes from Yohanan?
The Ultimate "Who's Joe?" joke
The level of search you go through must be so intense and exhausting. Thank you for all your in-depth knowledge. Sending you hugs brother.
Yahya is the Arabic form of it if I'm not mistaken
Yuhanna, Youhan, Yahya
Egyptians copts name their kids Yohana
Yes correct. Yahya is John The Baptist
What about Jonah (PBUH) coming from Yohanon but in Arabic is alled Yunus not Yahya
Tf Im vietnamese and I havent ever seen or heard of that Dzôn name. It simply cannot exist, Vietnamese doesnt have letter "z"
I think he mean that Dzôn sounds like the name Cận which sounds "similar" in big quotes,
@@adamnguyen5406 it must be a problem with google translate, i had to use it to figure out what what Cận sounded like and the last phonetic sound sounded similar, either google translate can't pronounce (most likely) or i am bad at rhyming
It could be from the French indo China. In that case it might just be a mispronunciation of of the French "Jean". Same case for Congo. Maybe.
What do you call the Johns in the Bible then?
@@sohopedeco we can him "John". Same as I would call you Pedro.
Cool video to learn about yohanan.. My friend name is yohanan. And also i knew john juan johannes are same but i dont know how is related nor i dont know it is related to yohanan...i cant find video about it.. You gave insight into this.. Thanks for your video..😀
You LOVE commenting
Don't you?
@@FaaduProductions hi dad.you come wherever i go or i follow you wherever you go... Sounds hypothetical..... I dont know.. If i like to comment or not..

@@FaaduProductions We shall be friends. Ok for you..
@@FaaduProductions im from india. You?
Really love the channel but that was probably your best video I’ve seen so far. Great work.
In German some variations are: johannes, Johann, jonah, Jonas, Jan Jens, Jasmin, John, etc. Some female names are. Jana, Janina, Jasmine, Johanna, Hanna,
You just missed it but for John it's 'Yuhanna' and 'Yohan' in Hindi version.
And ruhana
@@revoconner oh really? Never heard about that. Actually I am only half Indian and I have not lived there for much time.
Just like arabic
Yuhanna is Arabic
@@peace-hd7bm what about 'Yohan'?
"Juanita" lol... It would be 'Juana', Juanita is a rather familiar/funny nickname XD
Actually the 'Gio' and 'Gia' syllables in italian are pronounced exactly as you would say 'Jo' and 'Ja' in English, that 'i' is not really pronounced since its purpose is to make the 'G' sound soft because we also have the hard G sound.
Great video, that's some really interesting stuff.
So, does the name Giovanna retain the original meaning found in the the Hebrew Yohanan (God is Gracious)? What does Giorno Giovanna means in Italian? Giorno means "day", right? Does Giorno Giovanna mean "the day that God is Gracious" or "the day to be grateful to God"?
@@SeymoreSparda Giovanni/a is simply a name in Italian, just like "John" is in English. "Giorno Giovanna" would translate to English as "Day Jane" or something like that.
They're not pronounced in the same way. Jo and Ja are pronounced Jo and Ja in English, but Gio and Gia are pronounced like you would pronounce Jo and Ja in English, BUT WITH FLAIR !!!!
@@varana Oh, I was only halfway serious when i posed that question. You see, if you google the name Giorno Giovanna, you'll find that there is a particular ongoing anime series starring a character named that. You said that it would translate into English as "Day Jane", right? But what does Jane mean?
Take this case, for instance;
mashable.com/article/assman-vanity-plate-truck-decal/#xSX92BdWBOqm
www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-6702331/Canadian-man-Assman-gets-printed-truck.html
A Canadian man refuses to change his surname, even when people mocks him for it. What he still doesn't realized is that, he could still retain his surname without having people shame him for it.
If only he dug deeper into history and the etymology of his surname, he'd find that it's possible to change it into something that won't bring shame to him.The "Ass" part of his surname means spear, right? That means, his surname means the career medieval spearman, right? Do you know how many names that hold the same meaning as that in modern English? A lot!
The language that we know now as English originated from the Anglos and Saxons (along with the Frisians and the Juts) that settled in England after Rome left the island. And his surname has its origin in German Saxony, dammit!
www.baby-names-meanings.net/names-that-mean/spear,3.html
Spear in Anglo-Saxon is "Garr", right? He could have changed his surname to Algar, Caine, Corrin, Edgar, Garry, Gerald, Garnet,etc., and still be able to trace his origin in the future. My point is, don't take your history and name for granted. Everybody should check what their names means.
@@SeymoreSparda They're unrelated. One is a last name and the other is a firdt name. I don't get your point.
I didn't know about Yohanan but I did know Yohan.
This was very interesting. Love the etymology of names! Someone recommended your channel on Reddit, but it was your creative title that made me click. 😊
You forgot the surname Jones, which also comes from John, Eoin is the older Irish version of Sean which is really the Irish version of the English name John.
In Hungary, the form is "János".
You actually pronounced the Spanish ones perfectly
Never heard of someone actually named "Juanita", but it can be used as a Nickname for "Juana"
Julian Xamo: Yes the -ita ending is a diminutive and a nickname but I know a girl who is actually named Huanita (written like this, yes).
Dude I love your videos! This is one of the most interesting channels on TH-cam
In the Philippines, where we were both colonized by the Spaniards and the Americans, we received two variations of Yohanan:
The Spanish varieties: Juan, Juanito, Juana, Juanita
and the English varieties: John (and probably Johnny as well) and Jack
From the Spanish "Juan", Filipinos formed variations like 'Juaning' which became 'Aning' (my grandfather was called that). However, it's important to note that Spanish names became less common to the younger generations who have since been given American/English names.
From the English "John" and "Jack", Filipinos formed variations like 'Jan', 'Janjan', 'jack-jack'.
Sidenote: being a predominantly Catholic country, John Paul II became a very popular figure and a lot of Filipinos in the millennial generation were named "John Paul", which in turn got their own variations 'Jan Paul' both are often shortened as 'JP' (a very very common nickname)
John would often also be combined with other English names, (John Carlo, John Michael, John Lloyd which is the name of a popular local actor here) "John Mark" is a popular example which commonly got the nickname "JM"
2:58 I'm pretty sure the name "Ioan" in wales is also a variant.
Source: lives in wales
Fun fact: in chinese, we translate the name John as Yuehan, which mimics the pronunciation of the word yohanan
约翰 is the most common translation and the one most accepted, but there have been some absolutely ridiculous translations of "John" in media. The most laughable I've heard was 朱尔 (which, as any Mandarin speaker will instantly recognize, sounds like "pig's ear" when pronounced) from a movie whose name I can't remember.
Ah yes, everything is coming together now
Donald JOHN Trump had a kid with IVANa and named her IVANka
and your name is jonathan
Great video man! BTW in Israel the name stayed Yohanan, although it’s mainly elders who carry that name today, while the name Sean / Shawn is becoming more and more popular these days.
"Juanita" Is not a legal name, but a nickname for women called "Juana". In Spanish the suffix "-ito/a" means "little". It is very common in familiar environments to add this after the name of the child. Juanita means the little Juana, Pablito means the little Pablo, Teresita means the little Teresa...
