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.
Woah. Maybe one of the reasons why I know Juan is John was all because we were once a colony of the Spanish Empire.

Juan is still a common name here in the Philippines but John and its other forms are more popular among the new generation.

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.
También existe el Jonatan del Johanan no?
Thank you! I didn't feel like typing all that out.
Ok
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! 😂

I have one student of mine that has the name “Yohanna” and she’s from Ethiopia.
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
it might be because they speak amharic in ethiopia which was closely related to Hebrew in its early history

in Arabic there is yohana and yahya too which are also popular names in the middle east.
Yahya is the Arabic name of John the Baptist.
Jahan
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.

Man, I've always wondered why so many names start with J when it seems to be a relatively rare letter otherwise. I guess this is why.
In Hebrew there is no J it's a Y. Yeshua is Jesus's real name.
My mom: "I know you're name is Johannes but I call you by Giovanni at random because that's Johannes in Italian"

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.
@@redblack8766 Younis, Yunus is that different root with Yohanan?

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.
Mahmood (Mahmud, Mehmood, Mehmud), Hameed, Hammad(Hamad), Hamid, Mehmad, Mehmet
They also have slight deflections in their meanings
There is also a female version tbat I've heard before but not common with hamadiya
Its not only popular in Arab world. If you make research. Muslim In indonesia and malaysia also give their children with arab-muslim name.
Hui and other (central) Asian Muslims uses Ma as Muhammad
The Islamic name Yahya is also a derivation of Yohanan and I bet their are many more.
Eoin is actually pronounced as Owen; and Jovan is pronounced as Yovan.

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.
Honza is Czech nickname for Jan

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.

Very informative... good content
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?
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
Your videos are overall great. I just love most of the videos and my only request to you is to make more videos out of the traditional west... How about a few on India, China and Australia too..?
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.
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.
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.
Okay, that was officially the most mind-blowing video I've seen this year... And this is 2020... That's saying something.
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".
Boi I'm sure you can connect Yohanan to Alexander or Siegfried somehow
How about Sebastian
No, no you can't
How about Alfred?
