Iann
Iann Origin and Meaning
Iann is a masculine name that appears to be a distinctive spelling variation of Ian, which itself is the Scottish Gaelic form of John. The name ultimately derives from the Hebrew Yochanan, meaning 'God is gracious.' This particular spelling with the double 'n' gives the name a more unique visual appeal while maintaining the simple, strong pronunciation of the original. While less common than the standard spelling, Iann offers parents a way to personalize a classic name. The single-syllable simplicity of Iann makes it direct and masculine, while its Scottish heritage connects it to a rich cultural tradition. Though not widely used, this variation has appeared occasionally in recent decades as parents seek familiar-sounding names with distinctive spellings.
