Yochanan ('YHWH is gracious'); a personal name borne by priests, Levites, military leaders, and others.
A theophoric name meaning 'YHWH has been gracious,' borne by numerous individuals across Israel's history. Among the most notable are Johanan son of Kareah, the military commander who led the remnant of Judah after Jerusalem's fall (2 Kgs 25:23; Jer 40–43), and the high priest Johanan in the postexilic period (Ezra 10:6; Neh 12:22–23). The name also attaches to a Davidic descendant (1 Chr 3:15, 24), a temple gatekeeper (1 Chr 26:3), and several other figures. Its theophoric element links it to the broader family of 'grace' names, including Hananiah and Elchanan.
