The most enduring of all the Biblical names, John is derived from the Middle Latin Johannes, which is from the Ecclesiastic Late Latin Joannes, from the Ecclesiastic Greek Ioannes, a derivative of the Hebrew Yehanan, a short form of Yehohanan, which is from yehokdndn (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 and England. First used by the Eastern Church, John was brought back to the British Isles after the First Crusade. The name, with its many Irish forms, is one of the most popular in Ireland.
