Jhoan Origin and Meaning

The name Jhoan is a boy's name.

Jhoan is a masculine name representing an alternative spelling of Joan or Juan. With Hispanic origins, particularly in Latin American countries, this variation adds a distinctive visual element while maintaining the traditional pronunciation. The name derives ultimately from the Hebrew 'Yochanan' meaning 'God is gracious.' In Spanish-speaking cultures, Jhoan serves as a contemporary update to the classic Juan. The spelling has gained popularity in Colombia, Venezuela, and other Latin American countries since the late 20th century. While less common in the United States, it has seen some usage in Hispanic American communities. The distinctive 'Jh' beginning gives this traditional name a modern edge while honoring its cultural heritage.
