Hi again, sorry to tell you, John is not from the Hebrew bible. It is from the Christian Bible. John was a Baptist, not a Jew. Jonathan is from Hebrew, John, is not derived from the Hebrew language.

This name always use to make me think of some old man who has an allotment, but my boyfriend is called it. And I think John is a really strong manly name. It suits young and old.
