Jean (male given name)

In many French-speaking countries, Jean is a male name derived from the Old French Jehan (or Jahan). The female equivalent is Jeanne () and derives from the Old French Jehanne. Both names derive from the Latin name Johannes, itself from the Koine Greek name Ioannes (Ιωαννης), the name used for various New Testament characters in French, such as John the Baptist. The Greek name ultimately derives from the Biblical Hebrew name Yohanan (יוֹחָנָן), meaning "YHWH/Yahweh is Gracious".
