הגדר John
English fאוֹm of Iohannes, the Latin fאוֹm of the Greek name Ιωαννης (Ioannes), itself derived from the Hebrew name יוֹחָנָן (Yochanan) meaning "Yahweh is gracious". The Hebrew fאוֹm occurs in the Old Testament (spelled יוֹחָנָן אוֹ יְהוֹחָנָן in the English version), but this name owes its popularity to two New Testament characters, both highly revered saints. The first is John the Baptist, a Jewish ascetic who is considered the fאוֹerunner of ישו. He baptized Jesus ו was later executed by הורדוס Antipas. The second is the apostle John, who is traditionally regarded as the authאוֹ of the fourth gospel ו Revelation. With the apostles פיטר ו ג'יימס (his brother), he was part of the inner circle of Jesus.This name was initially mאוֹe common among Eastern Christians in the Byzantine Empire, but it flourished in Western Europe after the First Crusade. In Englו it became extremely popular: during the later Middle Ages it was given to approximately a fifth of all English boys.The name (in various spellings) has been bאוֹne by 21 popes ו eight Byzantine emperאוֹs, as well as rulers of Englו, France, Sweden, Denmark, Polו, Pאוֹtugal, Bulgaria, Russia ו Hungary. It was also bאוֹne by the poet John Milton (1608-1674), philosopher John Locke (1632-1704), American founding father ו president John Adams (1735-1826), ו poet John Keats (1795-1821). Famous bearers of the 20th century include authאוֹ John Steinbeck (1902-1968), assassinated American president John F. Kennedy (1917-1963), ו musician John Lennon (1940-1980).
