Biblical Hebrew origin

Source-reported

Meaning: “God has been gracious”

A spelling variant of Jon and John, with doubled ⟨n⟩ representing a short vowel followed by long /nː/. Ultimately a short form of Johannes, from Ancient Greek Ἰωάννης (Iōánnēs), from Biblical Hebrew יוֹחָנָן (Yōḥānān, “Yahweh is gracious”). First attested in the early 19th century in Norway. Compare Danish Jonn, Swedish Jonn and Faroese Jonn (“male given name”).

About this dataset and its counting rules

Statistics count the spelling “Jonn” as recorded by the publisher. When a spelling has several independent origins, the counts are not split between them. Counts measure applications. Gaps are years without a published value, not zeros.

Rates per million are unavailable for this series because no compatible denominator has been imported.

Universe: US national Social Security card applications by name, sex and birth year; not a complete birth registry, especially before 1937.
Rounding: Integer application counts retained without rounding.
Suppression: Only names with at least 5 occurrences in a year and sex are included. Missing observations are not zeros.
Ranking: computed by NameStoria from published counts; ties share a rank, next rank skips. The mirror's derived rank column is not used.
