Perennially popular name, Jean is the French cognate of John, which is derived from the Middle Latin Johannes, an evolution of the Ecclesiastic Late Latin Joannes. Joannes is from the Greek Ioannes, a derivative of the Hebrew Yehanan, a short form of Yeho-hanan, which is from yehdJidndn (Yahweh is gracious). The name, borne in the Bible by several important characters, was also borne by many saints, twenty-three popes, and many kings throughout Europe. Jean is commonly used in combination names, such as Jean-Luc. See John (Biblical Names) |
