When I look up the origin and meaning of the name 'John'... well, it just doesn't seem to apply to you so, Johnny you are! JOHN GENDER: Masculine USAGE: English, Biblical PRONOUNCED: JAHN (English) [key] Meaning & History English form of Iohannes, the Latin form of the Greek name Ιωαννης (Ioannes), itself derived from the Hebrew name יוֹחָ×*ָן (Yochanan) meaning "YAHWEH is gracious". This name owes its popularity to two New Testament characters, both highly revered saints. The first is John the Baptist, a Jewish ascetic who was considered the forerunner of Jesus Christ. The second is the apostle John, who is also traditionally regarded as the author of the fourth Gospel and Revelation. You looked in the wrong place: A "john" is a sanitation fixture used primarily for the disposal of human excrement and urine, often found in a small room referred to as a toilet/bathroom/lavatory. Also called a Crapper. Inventor was an Englishman. John Crapper. "Crapper" John Herring. It has a nice ring to it. For a "profession writer" you suck as to writing. |
