Meaning:Of Yôchânân; Yahweh is merciful, God is gracious
Yochonon is a rare gem derived from Hebrew Yôchânân and Greek Iōánnēs. Like its modern forms, John and Johannes, it means "God is gracious" or "Yahweh is merciful." This biblical name is shared with John the Baptist, whose given name was Yochanan ben Zechariah. Known as the forerunner of Jesus, he preached about God's Final Judgement and baptized followers seeking to repent. Your warm-hearted Yochonon will live up to their namesake and be champion of compassion!
