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.
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.
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 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! 😂
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.
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.
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
Well if variations count then we'd need to count Ahmed, Hamed, Humaid, Mahmoud, Ha'mid... and probably a couple more Which all are very common names and all are top 10 or near too!
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.
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
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.
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"
Exactly zero people in Eastern Europe pronounce it "Aye vin". It's "ee Vahn", which unsurprisingly, is much more phonetically similar to the root name, Yohanan.

Yohanan the name my Father named me. In Ethiopia, I, Yohanan Yokamo stand for right for education and quality education in Ethiopia. LLB, BSc, LLM and PhD. @May God bless real Yohanan all over the world.
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
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...
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

"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." Ya boi imma be cooking for you tonight.
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
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.
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"
Great video but I suspect there was a slight misinterpretation of names and languages. I'm a Russian speaking person from Finland and I have never heard "Janez", "Jovan" or "Honza" as Russian or Ukrainian given names. Those names sound more closer to Serbian, meaning it's South or "Balkan" Slavic names. The same goes for Ivana and Ivanka. On the other hand, Jan and Ivan (pronounced as "Yan" and "Eván") are Russian names, especially the latter one is the most common one. The female Russian version of this is Ivánna. There is also a family name version of them: Ivanov (masculine) and Ivanova (feminine) as well as the common use of patronymic of Ivanov (masculine) and Ivanovna (feminine). Now let's see the Estonian names or rather Finnish ones since I live there. Johannes (Yohannes) and Juha (Yuha) are the most common male names in Finland. Meanwhile, Jaana (Yaana), Jenna (Yenna) and especially Johanna (Yohanna) is the most commonly used female name here. And that's not all, there are actually many Finnish names related to Yohanan name. I will put just few more common names related to that name here if you're curious. Male names: Jukka (Yukka), Juha (Yuha), Juhani (Yuhane), Juhana (Yuhana), Joonas (Yoonas), Jesse (Yesse), which is a male name here.
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.
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..😀
@@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..
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.
4:10 so that's how the Indonesian got the exonym "Yunani" for Greece, they basically uses an alternative version of a name. I love to imagine that there's a language that refers to Spain as "Pablo"
Dude. No. There was a Greek tribe living in Anatolia since antiquity called the Ionians. They were the Greeks most people living in the Middle East at the time (like the Persians) would have interacted with the most, so the Persians just called all Greeks "Ionian", which evolved into Yunan. It has nothing whatsoever to do with some biblical figure. The name "Yunan" for Greece is centuries, maybe even over a millennium older than Christianity.
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.
Greece has only 2 variations of the name, Ioannis and Giannis (pronounced Yannis) and has also a female version for both, Ioanna and Gianna( again pronounced Yianna)

I'd guess that Hanna can be attested as being derivative of Johanna while Hannah is directly from the Bible. Of course most people don't think of that when they name their children, so I guess there are two indistinguishable Hannas...
You can't, really. Even more so as the version with H at the end (Hannah) is not that common in Germany and the Netherlands (where the example is from), and the biblical name "Hannah" is regularly spelt "Hanna" in those languages. So unless you have a girl officiall named Johanna who is using Hanna as a short form, or the parents explicitly declared their intent, you can't really know.

Exactly zero people in Eastern Europe pronounce it "Aye vin". It's "ee Vahn", which unsurprisingly, is much more phonetically similar to the root name, Yohanan.

Let's not forget John the Baptist is also a figure in Islam and muslims call him "Yahya". I thought he would mention the muslim variation of John :D
He didn't mention any Arabic variations like. Yohanna, Hanna, Yehya etc...

Yohanan the name my Father named me. In Ethiopia, I, Yohanan Yokamo stand for right for education and quality education in Ethiopia. LLB, BSc, LLM and PhD.
@May God bless real Yohanan all over the world.
The true og “God is gracious”
In Ethiopia yohanan has became yohanis
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
Your name sounds like Yokomo, a Japanese company
@Manuk, Psychonaut you talk too much
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.
TIL every single person I know has a variation of this name
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

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...
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.

@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

"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.
Congrarulations, you pronounced the irish word Siobhan perfectly without realising it.
"Juanita" lol... It would be 'Juana', Juanita is a rather familiar/funny nickname XD

hamdi
hammadi
hmaidi
ahmadi

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.
Man this is the most interesting video i heard in a while. Thank you Atlas Pro :))
This is one of the most interesting channels on RUclips! Thank you.
loved the “and is actually the shorten version of the name, how ever that’s pronounced”
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
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.
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"
Great video but I suspect there was a slight misinterpretation of names and languages.
I'm a Russian speaking person from Finland and I have never heard "Janez", "Jovan" or "Honza" as Russian or Ukrainian given names. Those names sound more closer to Serbian, meaning it's South or "Balkan" Slavic names. The same goes for Ivana and Ivanka.
On the other hand, Jan and Ivan (pronounced as "Yan" and "Eván") are Russian names, especially the latter one is the most common one. The female Russian version of this is Ivánna.
There is also a family name version of them: Ivanov (masculine) and Ivanova (feminine) as well as the common use of patronymic of Ivanov (masculine) and Ivanovna (feminine).
Now let's see the Estonian names or rather Finnish ones since I live there. Johannes (Yohannes) and Juha (Yuha) are the most common male names in Finland. Meanwhile, Jaana (Yaana), Jenna (Yenna) and especially Johanna (Yohanna) is the most commonly used female name here.
And that's not all, there are actually many Finnish names related to Yohanan name. I will put just few more common names related to that name here if you're curious.
Male names: Jukka (Yukka), Juha (Yuha), Juhani (Yuhane), Juhana (Yuhana), Joonas (Yoonas), Jesse (Yesse), which is a male name here.
Honza is Czech nickname for Jan
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?
"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

just know I was here when this video was titled “The Geography of Yohanan”
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".
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..😀

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.
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
And of course the most important variation of this name : JOJO
Boi I'm sure you can connect Yohanan to Alexander or Siegfried somehow
How about Sebastian
No, no you can't
How about Alfred?
4:10 so that's how the Indonesian got the exonym "Yunani" for Greece, they basically uses an alternative version of a name. I love to imagine that there's a language that refers to Spain as "Pablo"
Or the Wales "Ianto" sounds similar to "Yanto"
I don't know if that's a coincidence or something happened here in Indonesia
Dude. No. There was a Greek tribe living in Anatolia since antiquity called the Ionians. They were the Greeks most people living in the Middle East at the time (like the Persians) would have interacted with the most, so the Persians just called all Greeks "Ionian", which evolved into Yunan. It has nothing whatsoever to do with some biblical figure. The name "Yunan" for Greece is centuries, maybe even over a millennium older than Christianity.
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.
@@SeymoreSparda They're unrelated. One is a last name and the other is a firdt name. I don't get your point.
Greece has only 2 variations of the name, Ioannis and Giannis (pronounced Yannis) and has also a female version for both, Ioanna and Gianna( again pronounced Yianna)
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.
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. 😊
Hank is derived from Henk which is the nickname for Hendrik in Dutch, or Henry as we typically say in English. Not really related to Yohannes.
You butchered the portuguese lol. Also could add the feminine Joana
Verdade
and spanish too, juanita is our diminutive.
Jao phahahah
DIAU MANO KKKKKKK
he was so close but than went way overboard with "João" lol
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).
You just missed it but for John it's 'Yuhanna' and 'Yohan' in Hindi version.

How do l linguists distinguish between John-cognate Hanna and what I'm assuming is Hannah as a direct Hebrew root?
I'd guess that Hanna can be attested as being derivative of Johanna while Hannah is directly from the Bible. Of course most people don't think of that when they name their children, so I guess there are two indistinguishable Hannas...
in old Hebrew hanna means
Grace
Which is funny because my brother’s name is John and mine is Hannah but the not derived from John kind
You can't, really. Even more so as the version with H at the end (Hannah) is not that common in Germany and the Netherlands (where the example is from), and the biblical name "Hannah" is regularly spelt "Hanna" in those languages. So unless you have a girl officiall named Johanna who is using Hanna as a short form, or the parents explicitly declared their intent, you can't really know.
I see your channel with millions of subscribers in the distant future
