德語裡的John寫作”Johan”,讀”Yohan”，和約翰是一個音,這個字來自希語翻譯社 John的來源拜見下面John masc. proper name, c.1160翻譯社 from ML Johannes, from LL Joannes, from Gk. Ioannes, from Heb. Yohanan (in full y'hohanan) lit. "Jehovah has favored," from hanan "he was gracious." As the name of John the Baptist and John the Evangelist, it was one of the most common Christian given names翻譯社 and in England by early 14c. it rivaled William in popularity. O.Fr. form was Jean, but in England its variants Johan, Jehan yielded Jan, Jen (cf. surname Jensen). Welsh form was Ieuan翻譯社 (see Evan)翻譯社 but Ioan was adopted for the Welsh Authorized Version of the Bible, hence frequency of Jones as a Welsh surname. Feminine form was Joan, Latinized as Johanna. Colloquial John Hancock "signature" (1903翻譯社 sometimes, through some unexplainable error, John Henry) is from the signer of the Declaration of Independence, either from his signing first or most prominently.

Meaning "prostitute's customer" is from 1911, probably from the common, and thus anonymous翻譯社 name by which they identified themselves.希臘文和拉丁文裡邊都沒有j,拉丁文裡邊有時會把詞首的i(大寫)寫作j,不外照樣讀i翻譯 最早到中國傳教的，看來不是英國人和美國人，赫赫。 拉丁語裡邊耶穌寫作Iesu，讀作耶穌翻譯 John 翻譯成約翰，固然讀音對不上，但和古音是能對上的，不能說欠好。 我見已有人翻譯作”喬恩”了，也不克不及說欠好。 說起來Michael Jordan其實還可以翻譯成”約旦”的。 習慣成天然，但如許的”天然”無形中讓語言的雜沓度和復雜度增加，還要花幾十，幾百，幾千年unlearn，我感覺欠好。
