Best Answer

The English name "John" (and French "Jean", Irish "Seán", Russian "Ivan" and many others) comes from the Latin name spelled Johannes or Joannes (or Iohannes/Ioannes: 'j' and consonantal 'i', both pronounced like English 'y', are interchangeable in Latin spelling). This in turn came from the Hebrew name Yohanan, "God has favored".
