Jehohanan (יְהוֹחָנָן) — 'YHWH is gracious'; a common name borne by military, priestly, and lay figures
The theophoric name Jehohanan (יְהוֹחָנָן, 'YHWH is gracious') is the full form behind the later shortened 'Johanan' and the Greek 'Ioannes' (John). It appears across a range of periods and roles: a Benjamite warrior who joined David at Ziklag (1 Chr 12:5), a gatekeeper in the temple (1 Chr 26:3), a military commander under Jehoshaphat (2 Chr 17:15), a priestly leader in the time of the high priest Joiakim (Neh 12:13), and a layman who had married a foreign wife in Ezra's reforms (Ezra 10:28). The name's frequency reflects its theological popularity — the confession that YHWH shows grace.

1. Yehochanan (proper name) — A theophoric personal name meaning 'YHWH is gracious,' the long form ancestral to 'Johanan' and Greek 'John.' Borne by at least eight different individuals spanning the monarchic and postexilic periods: warriors (1 Chr 12:5, 13), Levitical gatekeepers (1 Chr 26:3), military commanders (2 Chr 17:15; 23:1), officials (2 Chr 28:12), priestly heads (Neh 12:13, 42), and laymen in Ezra's marriage reforms (Ezra 10:28). Spanish 'Johanán' and English 'Jehohanan' both transliterate the Hebrew. 11×
