Jehan m

1. a male given name, alternative form of Iehan.

• French: Jean

• Johan

Inherited from Vulgar Latin *Jeanes, from Latin Iōhannēs, from Ancient Greek Ἰωάννης (Iōánnēs), from Hebrew יוחנן (Yôḥānān, “Yahweh is gracious”). The initial -e- stem is a problematic/unusual change from Latin -o- in its morphological environment. The expected regular form leads to the alternative form Johan, which would have become the non-existent Modern French **Joan.
