    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.

    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.

      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

    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.

      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.

    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.

      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.

    Except that Ahmad, Hamad, Mahmoud, Hamada, Hamed, Hamdan and many others are also (in the same logic) variations of Mohammad.
    And also we have a lot of surnames derived from Mohammad.

      Somehow but not quite in the same sense. In those countries, you will find that in their Bibles, people like "'JOHN' the Baptist" are written in or referred to in many of those forms mentioned but I do not think there is a single 'Quran' that mentions "Mhmd S.A.W" in forms like "Ahmad", or "Mahmoud" and people do not easily refer to the Islamic prophet with those names either despite them being relatively formal than forms like "Johnny" or "Juanito".
