Was John prophesied in the Old Testament?

There is no book by the name of John in the Old Testament, nor is the name John mentioned in the Old Testament. The name John is a Greek name that comes from a Hebrew name. The Greek is Ἰωάννης which is pronounced ee-o-an'-nace and the Hebrew name it comes from is יוחנן which is pronounced yo-khaw-nawn'. So it is possible that the Hebrew equivalent of the name John does exist in the Old Testament.
